The Trump admin is normalizing federal troops killing political opponents in the streets.

If Joe Biden fired 100 FAA employees and a plane crash happened just a few hours later, Fox News would bring Lou Dobbs back from the dead with wall-to-wall coverage blaming it on Biden.

Fascism is characterized by:
- a charismatic authoritarian leader
- ultranationalism
- positive view of violence
- Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause
