Is Donald Trump a neo-fascist?

Is Donald Trump a neo-fascist?

Judging by the speech he gave yesterday in Poland that was straight out of a Munich beer hall circa 1933, the answer is almost certainly "yes".

It was arguably the most right-wing speech of his presidency.

Flush with the imagery of blood and soil nationalism and brooding laments about the existential crisis facing "the West" - the speech sounded at times like something straight out of Nazi Germany:

"The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?"

This speech was, of course, written by Stephen Miller.

How concerned should we by the omnipresence of Nazi or fascistic imagery in Trump's speeches?
