    Folks can't remember Bush Jr at all, much less Clinton, Bush Sr or Reagan. They can barely remember Obama, except through a haze of nostalgia.

    What's notable about Trump isn't his fascism - plenty of presidents have been openly fascist. What's notable is how many middle class white people are getting sucked up into the current dragnet.
