      1. In terms of whether Trump is a fascist, worth looking at theories of palingenetic ultranationalism:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palingenetic_ultranationalism …

      2. What is palingenetic ultranationalism? Idea nation has been diminished, betrayed & needs to be reborn. "Make America great again"

      3. Of course palingenetic ultranationalism is necessary precondition, sine qua non, of fascism, but there have to be other elements as well

      4. Some of the other elements in fascism aren't there yet, or only flirted at (extra-judicial violence).

      5. So I'd say Trump is, as of now, a proto-fascist rather than a fascist proper. Perhaps a harbinger of another, more dangerous figure.

      6. This piece by @dneiwert is best discussion of where Trump stands on fascism spectrum: http://dneiwert.blogspot.ca/2015/11/donald-trump-may-not-be-fascist-but-he.html …

      7. Here's the thing: even if he loses, Trump has opened a door that will be hard to close. He's shown how far you can go on proto-fascism

      8. Trump will have successors, slicker versions of himself, who are likely to go far in the GOP. One of them is likely to become president.

      @HeerJeet Wrong. Historically, there have always been popular demagogues like Trump (e.g. huey long/joe mccarthy); they've nvr had succesors

      @JorgeBonilla94 Long was outside party politics and McCarthyism had a long life pre-and-post McCarthy (See "Many Are the Crimes")

          @HeerJeet Trump's extreme views have had long lives as well, yet we view him as singular (as we are wont to do w/ contemp. people & events)

          @HeerJeet And that Trump exists within party politics may say more about state of GOP than about his singularity relative to Long
