    My take on all this is that Trump has fascist aspirations but is too stupid and lazy to carry them out. That's only partly reassuring.https://twitter.com/IChotiner/status/1039160101343440897 …

        Lucky for him he's got a great support system in the @GOP.

        It's more simple than that. He just wants everyone to agree with him and tell him how fantastic he is.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        That's the essential paradox that Putin has to grapple with: he chose Trump for his fascist aspirations and for his "useful idiocy," but that same useful idiocy stands in the way of Putin's own fascist aspirations for Trump.

        I suspect the last thing Putin would want would be to be facing a clever and effective fascist. That might actually work dangerous for Russia! A feckless buffoon creating chaos seems more in Russia’s interests right now.

        Yes. Trump doesn’t care about ideology. If asked, he probably doesn’t even know what the word means. That’s disturbing because some of the characters surrounding him know Trump is malleable and are fascistic.

        Fascist....I am not clear on the definition of that word. I know Paxton has a rather long definition. I can see Trump falling under that. But why not just use authoritarian wannabe?

        Yes, that gives me little comfort. Trump's aspirations while paired with Bannon's guidance was when I was most concerned.

        But he still has Mitch McConnell backing him who will do anything for money and power. So I'm afraid very afraid!
