I keep forgetting that wingnuts don't understand the various political philosophies. And they don't understand how a fascist state arise. Which is sort of interesting because fascist states are well documented and analyzed. Fascist states are authoritarian, nationalistic and are absolutely opposed to liberalism. Even the very mild forms that Obama and Hillary represent. They are xenophobic and believe in the absolute power of The Leader. The Leader often comes to power by claiming their country is weak, being pushed around militarily and economically by other countries. They all promise to "make the country strong again". They push the fear of crime and disorder being rampart in the country and only they can solve the problems. The Leader often calls for violence to bring opposing elements in society to heel. They also tend to reject rational thought and science and embrace the irrational and just plain made up. They embrace the military and see it as the solution to almost everything international. Trump has hit all of these factors. Hillary, not so much. Except for the military, not much at all. Try to educate yourself, i-node. Read some of Mussolini's speeches. Read Mein Kampf, now available in Germany of all places.
