She said: "Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition when, every day, Americans are still losing their lives?" Did he answer the question? Or did he look at an Asian woman and immediately start attacking China? And this is just ridiculous: "Weirdly, some, who feared Trump being a true Hitler-like fascist 2-3 years ago, were upset that Trump wasn't being fascist enough and shutting the whole country down and overruling state governors on local policies." There's nothing fascist about instituting a national healthcare policy during a national healthcare crisis. That's not what the word means. Fascism is far-right authoritarianism. Marshalling private militias to attack people is fascism, however, and it's a practice Trump shares with both Hitler and Mussolini.

When the “national healthcare policy” you wanted him to institute is an authoritarian policy that overrules local governments and implements central economic planning, then yes, its fascism. Using different words to describe the same thing might work for the soundbite but people know the truth.

Though, in fairness, the plot to kidnap Michigan's governor didn't start until two whole two months after he sent that Tweet. The Blackshirts carrying rifles through the capitol building were largely peaceful.
