Democracy Now interview with the author of that book, Jason Stanley. You can see the transcript here. Needless to say he talks about how Dump is a prime example of this horrid affront to democracy. For example:
"Fascism is an ideology based on power. Liberal democracy is based on
liberty and equality. Liberty and equality require truth, because you
need truth to speak truth to power, and a free—if you’re lied to, you’re
not free. No one thinks the people of North Korea are free. They’ve
been lied to. So, if you’re going to attack liberal democracy and
replace it with power, you need to smash truth. So, fascism is an
ideology based on power and loyalty. It creates—it’s based on
hypernationalism, so one group—loyalty to one group. And one person, the
leader, represents that group. It’s hypermasculine and
hyperpatriarchal."
