The idea that, if elected, he will use his authority to do all kinds of things that go against our Constitution, laws and centuries of jurisprudence is also something his fascist predecessors did. Unlike your hero Obama, right? /Taro

The first claim is that fascism requires a strong central government to come into existence. You don't need a strong central government in place before fascism get put in place. You can get the strong central government put in place with fascism, but if you never have the strong central government you never have a fascist system in power. You abandon that idea by the end of your post to claim that a fascist leader, by exerting power, is the government exerting power and hence greater central control. This isn't even wrong. You are just restating a part of the definition of fascism like it is some sort of revelation. Apparently it is a revelation to you. From your post - "Because the Leader doesn't use the authority of the government, but his own." Which is irrelevant precisely because the fascist leader exerting power is the government exerting power.
