      1. Since @michikokakutani's brilliant review has made Hitler analogies fresh again, I want to offer some grounds for optimism.

      2. Yes, Trump is a demagogue leading a palingenetic ultranationalist movement steeped in revanchist myths & racism, but...

      3. ...but, when making historical analogies, it's important to realize differences as well as similarities.

      4. The big key difference is demographic. 20th century fascism was a youth movement, its 21st century sequel skews old.

      5. European fascism was a youth movement filled with young men who had shared experience of defeat in World War One. Nothing comparable now

      6. Because German population was young, Hitler had many recruits for his paramilitary groups, the stormtroopers of his popular revolution

      7. As the fine lads at @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE noted,, Trump's geriatric fan base isn't going to be able to fight a race war on their scooters.

      8.To the extent there are any young people in Trumpism, they are a very sorry bunch of losers -- i.e. the alt-right.

          9. Say what you want about National Socialism, but the SA thugs at least marched on the street. No Pepe the Frog memes for them.

          10. Don't get me wrong, there's aspects of Trumpism that should worry us. But there's also reason to see it as a pale reflection of fascism.
