    Trump is the figure uniting the fascists in the US when he pops it topples and the spell is broken.

    I sincerely hope so, but I don’t find that likely. People aren’t turning to fascism just because they like him, they’re doing so because they aren’t able to think critically, or are hateful, or are looking for easy answers to the complex issues fucking up their lives, or all of the above.

    Trump didn’t get to power in a vacuum. The political environment is ripe for it.

      Absolutely, but Trump is the centre of it. There is a reason fascism fails after leaders die, it is difficult to sustain. There isnt enough foundations yet for itnto survive after.
