Hitler famously dismantled the German democracy in 53 days. We're now 54 days into Trump's presidency, and while he's very close to achieving the same thing with the US republic, he hasn't quite done it yet.

Hitler 1, Trump 0.

It's not sentimental: it attempts to measure the percentage of each of the 14 characteristics of fascism the United States meets, then combines them into a single "fascism completion" score.

Is it not using sentiment analysis to measure the percentage of each article?

Yes of course, an article is subjective to a large degree. What I meant was that the site tries to itemize all the issues so as to minimize the subjectivity.
