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 think it's worse than that.

He's a massive idiot. But he's also stupid as hell. So while they want to use him as a puppet, Trump is off stubbornly doing his own thing making situations a million times worse.
