    It’s a completely flawed comparison. Hitler was capable of making coherent sentences, and he was doing it rather well. He wasn’t just identifying a few catch phrases (build a wall! Lock her up!) and repeating them ad infinitum to make the crowds go wild.

    Fascism doesn’t need to look like a bunch of drooling idiots in adult diapers. That’s just the specific branch of it that ended up successful in contemporary America, for whatever reason.
