 · Give only one side of the argument.
 · Continuously criticize your opponents.
 · Pick out one special "enemy" for special vilification.
These are the pillars of Fascist Propaganda, Fascism is an artificial construct, a cult of personality where the leader can do no wrong. It requires a figurehead, a Tito, a Mussolini, a Hitler, a Trump. Because if the leader can do no wrong, then who are you to question? Fascism is a cancer, feeding on a free press by telling you how bad a free press really is. Fascism is government ownership by monied interests. What? The Federal Reserve raising interest rates? A bad global climate change report? Bury them!
Open up more Federal lands to Fracking and oil drilling? That's getting big Government of your back! Rolling back oil drilling regulations passed after the Deep-Water Horizon disaster. That's cutting unnecessary regulations! All this great news about the economy as the average American worker's wages rose eleven cents an hour. Trump's Cabinet Secretary's each got a $10,000 raise, but the average American's paycheck rose a paltry $4.40 a week.
It all comes into focus when you understand that it is supposed to be fuzzy. This time it is Latin American immigrants, last time it was Jews. This time it is a government shutdown, last time it was the Reichstag fire. This time a Republican Senate working in lock step in an abrogation of its Constitutional duty to keep the government open. Last time a Reichstag working in lock step in an abrogation of its constitutional duties to keep lawful government shut down to enable its Fuhrer to declare an emergency...need I go on?
"What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents." - Robert Francis Kennedy
