Stanley: Twit's fascism

Jason Stanley wrote the book How Fascism Works and sees it working big time in Twitler. 

"We don't have a fascist regime. But arguably Trumpism is something akin to a fascist social and political movement. At the very least, we have massive use of fascist tactics. We've got militia's roaming the streets. We have one of our political Parties turning into a cult of the leader."

They discuss the 10 pillars of fascist politics: A mythic past; propaganda; anti-intellectualism; unreality; hierarchy; victimhood; law and order; sexual anxiety; Sodom and Gomorrah; arbeit mach frei.

One point where I disagree is when he said Twit hasn't gone into genocidal policy. To me that's exactly what Twit has done with his intentional pandemic policy.
