The word fascist has been so abused it's been reduced to mush. I think calling Trumpf an Authoritarian Dictator wannabe is closer to the truth. He believes and he acts as if he's been elected King or Dictator and that he and he alone should have ALL of the power in the land. This is why he naturally aligns himself with someone like Putin. The built-in constraints of a Constitutional Republic are barely holding under the strain of this mans attempts to break free of them.

There was an interesting view I saw this morning. I think it originates from Cenk Uygar. The idea is that Trump is removed because of mental decline. This allows the GOP to save face as it were. Trump supporters get to mourn the decline of their dear authoritarian dictator, and the rest of America including the GOP gets rid of pressing problem number one. It's sounds plausible to me, I mean it's the best plan yet.

To us, it sounds plausible. To the GOP base that adores this thug it's just a Libtard fantasy.
