...right now we'd be getting ready to engage in a long learned discussion, complete with logically reasoned arguments and references and footnotes, on why this was or wasn't "Fascism".

Of course, before we did that, we'd first have to all agree on exactly what we meant by "Fascism", and to all agree on a precise definition of the term.

Fascism is the dictatorship of the middle class, and as the middle class finds its hegemony and legitimacy endangered and its economic and racial superiority threatened, this is precisely how it is manipulated by demagogues and how it manifests itself. This is early 20th century Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Argentina (and a host of other places)all over again.

Of course, there are differences due to the times, and historical peculiarities, and national character, but it is still instantly recognizable. Trump and his allies and followers are following the playbook so closely that if this had been written up in a novel or screenplay just a decade ago it would have been dismissed as a cliched oversimplification and exaggeration.

It isn't just their hatred of the Jews that gives them away. Its the hatred, period; nativism, nationalism, militarism, exceptionalism, and of course, racism. There's nothing "Neo-" about Trumpism. But its not all about Trump either. This latest outbreak of this social disease does not arise from one distinct personality; Trump is not merely a Franco or a Mussolini or a Hitler in a new guise. He simply took advantage of an existing environment, just like they did. If it hadn't of been Trump, it would have been someone else just like him.

Look through the list of personalities you refer to and quote in your post. The American Right is infested with these people.
