What Would Trump Fascism Look Like?

Author: 
Al Carroll

Numerous analysts, journalists, publications, and scholars judge Mr. Trump to be a fascist. These range from academics to Newsweek to Salon to the New Republic to even Forbes magazine and conservatives like Max Boot and Jeb Bush. He is authoritarian, appeals to irrationality, is highly nationalistic, extremely bigoted, and calls for the defense of capitalism at the expense of democracy. The only things missing from this textbook definition of fascism are the uniforms.
In spite of or more likely because of the threat Mr. Trump represents, he has little chance of winning.Even though Trump has little chance of winning, it is interesting to consider what form Trump Fascism would take. What if he actually won?
