And the fascism in the US has a truer, more specific name: Nazism. Donald Trump is a Nazi, through and through. Hitler may be the one person he loves and admires more than himself.

But world media is afraid to call Trump and his GOP Nazis, as if it is too far, when it's just the plain truth.

    Trump came into the present rightward drift and accelerated it to a full fascism. He did it just like that, and he didn’t start from scratch. He caught it in the middle. Tell people that you are returning the nation to its rightful place, and pretty soon masked federal police are shooting people in the streets. Blasting speedboats on the high seas out of existence because we can. Placing people in detention-concentration camps under horrible and humiliating conditions, with or without proof of criminality. The federal government was not drowned in a bathtub. It survived to mask itself, clothed in riot gear.

    It has many names but primarily "conservativism"
