The emphasis on Trump as a leader borders on a cult of personality which is a feature of fascism.

I generally prefer fascists over communists because 1) They are usually nationalists, 2) They usually dress better than commies and take more baths and 3) They are usually not as murderous as communists.

Not to say that I like fascism. Just, the way things are going, and given the quality of the electorate, we are probably going end up some even more Authoritarian government no matter which way we go.

After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people." - Ferris Bueller

I observed degrees of cult of personality with Obama. I do not see the same with Trump or any such elation among open Trump supporters. If it manifests, I would see it; we would all see it, what with Trump doing marches on Washington (none forthcoming AFAICS, but we are in wait-and-see mode). Neither Luigi Facta nor Kurt von Schleicher were Obama-like figures to say the least, in addition.
