Yes, to most. But as to fascism, I would put him closer to outright Nazism. Because in his own words he has essentially inferred that a kind of “Night of the Long Knives” is coming soon after he wins. He could be worse than the the current bunch of European dictators. And what is “the enemy within redolent of”?
From the Washington Post:
“The first is that the most immediate round of comparisons to Hitler was driven not by left-wing paranoia about a second Trump term. It was driven, instead, by Trump’s own words, as relayed by his former chief of staff. It’s Trump who praised Hitler’s control over his generals and Trump who said Hitler did good things, according to Kelly, a retired four-star general. Those were comments he offered reluctantly, apparently doing so only after Trump suggested that the military should be used against any of the “enemy within” should there be unrest on Election Day.
The second is that one of the first people to compare Trump to Hitler was Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), now Trump’s running mate. What changed since Vance offered that comparison in 2016 isn’t how Trump approaches politics. It’s how willing Vance has become to acquiesce to that approach.
So it is with the right writ large.”
