Your neo-fascist comment is way over the top, however.
Perhaps to someone who yearns for authoritarian rule. A number of his policies align, however, with fascists in the past. I want no part of it.

Conservative authoritarianism? Interesting concept; A small government you can drown in a bathtub that forces it's will on the entire world.

Has to be one of the funniest articles you've posted in a while. The author tries to make hysterical sound thoughtful and reasoned. Thanks for that.

If you don't see neo-fascist policies within Trump's proposals and persona, it's because you don't want to.

On the contrary, you and the author are making loose connections and weak comparisons because you want to, maybe even have to, because its better than scrutinizing what's happening in Democrat presidential politics.
