The list regurgitates the same points over and over.
Old, deranged trump is a complete lunatic. Young, narcissistic trump was dumb as a rock, but he cared a lot, a whole lot about his image. He was popular and he’s always been the useful idiot actual powerful and smart people like to hide behind.
To his credit, it would be way too wild of a coincidence for him to play the fascist playbook so accurately. He’s probably been coached, the new order book annotated by someone who actually read it. I don’t think he studied any of this seriously though. There is no foreshadowing of future event. He just gets stuck and incredibly mad at something blocking his path, and he probably goes “Hmm, what would Hitler have done”, and he gets to use whatever brainpower he has to follow a few simple guidelines and rhetoric.
That’s the thing with the fascist playbook, it’s incredibly dumb. You just ignore everything and get people riled up about the next thing in order. It’s immigrants, the medias, scientifics, every other politicians, elections, the justice system, democracy itself. He’ll be jailed and do the next thing Hitler did, like have a smarter someone publish a “solution” to their “struggle” and it will be spread like gospel. Given the chance he’d then starts a war with a neighboring country. Just follow the steps one by one, even a buffoon like him can get coached on it. Suddenly you’ll hear Canada has to be liberated and it is all you’ll hear about. That’s what his second term and planned for-life presidency would look like.
Trump and other Republicans have recently not-so-secretly been plotting to invade Mexico in a war on drug cartels. It’s not Canada, but it’s right in line with the fascist playbook.
