I re-quote:

Donald Trump, America's modern Mussolini

... Trump uses many of the fascist's tools:
a contempt for facts,
spreading a pervasive sense of fear and overwhelming crisis,
portraying his backers as victims,
assigning blame to foreign or alien actors
and suggesting only his powerful personality can transcend the crisis.
He endorsed the violence done to a dissenter at one of his rallies,
and he now floats the idea of making entry to the United States contingent on religion.

A quantitative analysis of Trump's speeches by the New York Times found that Trump echoes what historians said were
"the appeals of some demagogues of the past century" in his repetition of "divisive phrases, harsh words and violent imagery."

Perhaps more troubling than Trump is the reluctance among Republican leaders to disavow him. ...

So people are calling common sense as Fascist? If they sell you on that idea, I have some waterfront property in Florida to sell you.
