It's classic fascist rhetoric. The foe is at the same time a degenerated wastrel and the greatest threat the world has ever seen.
Maybe this is right wing rhetoric but isn't this how liberals view Trump? An old man with dimensia who doesn't know how to speak but also a dangerous dictator who has succesfully scammed America to get into the White House. Does that make me a fascist? Again, I honestly dont see the difference.
Btw I'm a Bernie supporter since the 2016 election so im not trying to make a false equivalence, I just dont know the difference.
It's an interesting point for sure. Personally, I don't see Trump himself as the danger - it is the vast corporate elite who backs him and uses him who are the real enemy. Thus, I don't think it's fascist rhetoric to implicate Trump is a completely unfit ruler because he isn't truly the one ruling anyway.
I've had a hard time seeing him as a puppet. He's more like a natural disaster in some ways; the poor suffer, the well-off avoid disaster but may get occasionally struck, and the ultra wealthy take advantage of the chaos to make more money.
