Tried and true Fascist power play: Gain a political following. Grow paramilitary forces that pledge loyalty to the leader. Use this force to create chaos. Gain political power. Create a crisis. Use crisis to justify suspension of government checks and balances to expand power. Take dictatorial control.

I hope I'm wrong but Trump seems to me to be following Hitler's play book.

An alternative view of the fascist Trump

I Know Fascists; Donald Trump Is No Fascist
http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/01/donald-trump-fascist/424449/
Trump’s xenophobic rhetoric, his demagoguery, and his populist appeals to citizens’ economic anxieties certainly borrow from the fascist playbook. Italy’s fascists capitalized on similar themes in a different era of global uncertainty; in their case, it was the unemployment, veterans’ resentments, unions’ strikes, and political violence that beset the country following World War I. But Trump is, fundamentally, a blustering political opportunist courting votes in a democratic system; he has not called for the violent overthrow of the system itself. And whereas it can be impossible to discern any logic or strategy in Trump’s campaign, the fascists who marched on Rome in 1922 were relentlessly, violently focused on a clear goal: to kill democracy and install a dictatorship.

A sense of proportion is crucial to avoid alienating voters further. Trump’s fans are too few to march on Washington, but way too many to ignore or mock. They want jobs, schools, safe communities. If you keep your eyes on their needs, and not on Trump’s distorted hall of mirrors, you will not see “fascists” but instead people forgotten by both Democrats and Republicans. To successfully oppose Trump’s disastrous agenda, without isolating his base, the 2016 candidates will have find some way to speak to them. As Western democracies continue to face the crises of wars and terrorism abroad, and growing inequality and cultural and political unrest at home, it would be a tragedy to go through them so bitterly divided.

Just so we're clear, so we don't have this problem later, if and when a Civil War breaks out, I'm on your side, guys. Lou, Buck, and all you guys who are Democratically aligned or Anti-Trump. I'm a pretty good shot, so I'm pretty useful. So don't shoot me if the world goes to shit. Same team.

Trump has pretty much demonstrated principles and conducted himself in a manner uncannily similar to Adolf Hitler. Pretty sure even his constituents agree, and I suspect they might even appreciate that fact. Do you seriously disagree with this observation/analysis?
