Lest we forget... (an article written in 2017 outlines many disturbing similarities)
Trumpism, Fascism, and the Lessons of History
Since the election (2016), Trump has continued his contempt for both the rule of law and established custom, refusing to divest himself of his enormous real estate and financial empire. He has called, in defiance of the First Amendment of United States Constitution, for people who burn the American flag to be jailed and has continued his assault on the mainstream press media. He has even questioned the legitimacy of the election that handed him power, claiming without proof that millions of “illegal” voters voted for his opponent, giving her a majority of the popular vote.
Conclusion:
History shows us that hunkering down, sticking one’s head in the sand, and hoping for the best is folly. Given the many unsettling similarities between Trumpism and Fascism, this suggests that American democracy will be severely tested in the years ahead and that American citizens should be ready to defend their freedoms, their friends and neighbours, and their Republic actively and with courage.
