Over 400 academics, including 31 Nobel laureates, signed a letter warning that today’s far-right movements often bear “unmistakably fascist traits”. Trump’s voters (who overwhelmingly aren’t fascists) tend to mock these accusations as liberal hysteria
Academics... so basically the people that have had their world view in place since the end of WW2. The establishment view. Their whole world view is based on preventing fascism, nationalism, or any strong love including religion. In a word. Globalists.
Trump to me has a lot in common with TDR. He's a strong man type with a very realist world view. One based in power and strength. This is one of the reasons he has beat the establishment Republican politicians. I do think he has been co-oped to some extent but it might just be that he doesn't care so he's giving them scraps.
I still say the fascist label is just not helpful here. It is a good boogie man but is quickly losing its power as a term.
