The article critiques the prevalent use of analogies, particularly those associating Trump with historical dictators like Mussolini and Hitler. The author argues that such comparisons are misguided, emphasizing that Trump’s administration is not about expanding authoritarian control like historical fascists but rather about dismantling existing governmental structures. In contrast to the centralized authority typical of fascism, Trump’s approach seeks to eliminate bureaucracy while undermining norms, creating chaos rather than a cohesive totalitarian regime.
The Trump administration is more interested in blowing up the state than in extending its power, aiming to eliminate bureaucracy rather than grow it.
Using analogies such as fascism to describe Trump is misplaced; it does not accurately reflect the reality of his administration's goals.
