I think this is an interesting interview on Trump's fascism:



He makes an interesting point on Trumpists. Trumpists think everybody lies as much as Trump; they don't support Trump because he is morally upstanding or anything like that, but because he's their guy, someone who will do all that evil stuff they think everybody else does. There is no truth: there are only "sides", and loyalty is the most important thing of all. "The facts of your enemy are the enemies of your facts." This is something I have noticed repeatedly on here.

That would give insight into why he gets so much support from the tinfoil hat club.

You just gave me an idea. I am going to start selling foil hats that say MAGA and sell them outside the voter polls come election day.
