  Well, obviously. It’s just that a nationalist, authoritarian government led by a populist strongman merging corporate and state power is the primary goal of fascism. We really shouldn’t think it’s hypocritical or surprising when the fascists support fascism. That’s what they do.

    It's more of a statement on how his followers justify these types of things. Not him. I know he's a wanna be dictator.

      But that’s kinda my point. He’s not just a wanna be dictator. He is the fascist leader of a fascist movement, and his supports are fascists, even if they don’t like that terminology. Fascism isn’t just a mean word for politician I don’t like. It’s an actual populist political ideology. The whole movement is fascist. Not just the guy at the head.
