Refusing to concede a fair election, using gerrymandering and electoral fraud to keep a conservative minority party in power, obstructing the political process, packing the courts as a political weapon, not to mention open racism, a cult of personality, fervent nationalism, and tacit endorsement of political violence? If you compare the rise of European facism to contemporary trends in US politics then the parallels are pretty stark. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... it is, at the least, a precursor to fascism. It doesn't happen all at once, and if we wait until it's plainly obvious to call it like it is, then it'll probably be too late. And even if you don't want to call it facist, it's out of line to compare this shit to my personal blog. That's a baseless character attack, which is a dick move, not to mention against the HN guidelines.
