Actual fascism - here defined as anti-globalization isolationism along with close collusion between industry and the state - would probably work quite well in the us

Anti-globalization isolationism along with close collusion between industry and the state isn't actual Fascism. While Trump is pushing for some kind of national renewal/rebirth, and is maybe to slight degree utilizing national myth, I don't really see him as being an actual Fascist. I honestly don't think he wants to undermine liberal democracy for instance. Being born and raised in NYC I don't exactly see him being anti-cosmopolitian either, he just expresses paranoid opinions about Islam.

*edit
Also corporations are loving global now, they don't give a rats rear end about your precious nation state.

Well Donald Trump, AKA Hitle,r could've changed his name at city hall for $40; the baby hands is a dead giveaway that he is Hitler now that I think about it. Like his operation went poorly and that's why he's so weird looking and has baby hands.

Yeah a guy who wants to decrease our military presence around the world even to the point of taking a lesser role in things like NATO is exactly like the guy who declared war on all of Europe that did not ally with him after a massive military build up. I can see how you could make that mistake.

not to mention the fact that Trump's daughter is a fricken Jew.

Game....Blouses.
Trump as Hitler is too much of a cliche, and I don't see even Trump being crazy enough to propose murdering everyone except white people (unless he's done that in one of his speeches already, which I guess wouldn't be too much of a surprise.)

Trump feels like more of a Reagan to me. Every time I hear about Trump becoming president that line from Back to the Future plays in my head.

"Ronald Reagan?! The Actor? Then who's vice president? Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the first lady. And Jack Benny is secretary of the treasury!"

Apparently when Reagan first ran everyone thought he was a cheesy, empty-headed old actor, but being a smug blowhard with zero substance ended up working perfectly for him. So I could see Trump taking that route, but I'd still be surprised if he won.

You really need to see Er Ist Wieder Da.
