I think many of these intellectuals---Sowell, VDH, for example---understand but don't want to admit what we are facing: the possibility of the collapse of the political system. We have not one, not two, but ALL THREE branches of government that quit doing their constitutional jobs. We have a party system that stopped doing the job it was trusted to do by Madison. We have a "Fourth Estate" that quit doing its job 30 years ago.

So, yes it is very much like those situations. I don't know much about Peron. But Hitler and Franco were NOT elected. Hitler was named Chancellor by a MINORITY of NSDAP who had allies in the Nationalist Party. Franco was a general who staged a coup.

I won't kid Freepers: the Mussolini connection has crossed my mind. There are big differences. The Italian fascists were a minority in a multi-party system who had a paramilitary thug group and who had a LARGE portion of the press on their side. Trump is a total outsider, with the media and established parties against him, with no paramilitary at all.

One big danger is that our own military in fact hates Obama. We don't want to ever have to pit the military against the civilian here or we are finished.
