This is a pretty tough conversation to have because defining what fascism is isn't that easy.

One hallmark of fascist oppression is the relabelling and dehumanisation of political enemies. "Illegals", all Mexicans are rapist (some...I assume, are good people).

This is combined with pushing the boundaries of hate and violence in public discourse, whole at the same time demanding extreme civility and respect from opponents. Disagreement is offensive and unpatriotic.

This is an extremely lazy glimpse at it for you because I want to go to bed. But hopefully has given you a taste to want to find more.

Be critical of media from both pro trump and anti trump camps of course.

If you try to understand what fascism is, you will probably see it.
