Uh, huh. Wow, not even a millimeter of give.

What? I'm the one who in the other thread was making the argument that many of the Administration's actions on immigration enforcement aren't unlawful, that Trump is just exercising the powers that Congress gave to the Presidency (which are enormous) and working within the scope of Constitutional rights that are afforded non-citizens (which are much narrower than many assume). I would agree that many of the things that the Administration is doing which are criticized as being authoritarian or illegal are actually the President just deciding to use a lot of the powers that Congress explicitly gave to the Executive, and which prior Presidents didn't exercise to the full extent allowed.

I just think you're wrong in intimating that Trump can only be a fascist if his actions are reminiscent of Hitler in the late 1930's, rather than Hitler in the late 1920's, such that if he's not disappearing political enemies without a trial he can't possibly be a fascist. That's not correct. Hitler was a fascist the entire time, and his rise to power took place mostly by gradually breaking down the guardrails of German democracy.

So pointing out that Trump hasn't today abolished the courts or started "disappearing" every single one of his political enemies isn't really a rejoinder against allegations that he's acting as a fascist. Because even the literal fascist governments of WWII didn't start off there, either.
