Trump's rhetoric is increasingly mirroring Nazi talking points, and nobody is paying attention, an expert on extremism warns

This isn't new. They went full fascist years ago. The only problem is that the media isn't reporting it as such nearly enough. They're willing to pretend he's working in a democratic system, and that he'll continue to do so. He won't. He said so. He should be completely disqualified from running.
