"Right-wing strategist Steve Bannon, who once pledged to make the world 'as exciting as the 1930s,' promotes the ideas of the Italian Traditionalist Julius Evola, who wrote: 'We would like a more radical, more intrepid Fascism, a really absolute Fascism, made of pure force, inaccessible to compromise.”'

"Trump is running a fascist campaign, the most un-American in U.S. history. Below, I offer eight unofficial rules of American democracy that Trump has broken—rules it would have been unthinkable for an American politician to break before Trump arrived on the scene. If he wins despite doing all that, the system itself will break."
~ Nicholas Grossman
This important. The system was always corrupt but the players knew the rules, generally abided by them, and were punished when they ostentatiously broke them.
Trump has only one principle: The whole world is a con and only suckers play by the rules.
If Trump wins in two weeks the old system is gone, the first American Republic is over and we are in unchartered territory.

He learned that lesson from his dad and Roy Cohn.
@Dave_Goldsmith Yes, he did.
