'Death of Democracy' author says Trump’s 'cultivation of dishonesty' strongly reminiscent of Nazis @alternet:

"Donald Trump's behavior is drawn from a familiar authoritarian playbook: threats of violence against his political enemies, contempt for the rule of law, incessant lies and corruption, militant nationalism, disdain for a free press, and the portrayal of his supporters as "real citizens" over and against lesser others. Trump has merely adapted those most vulgar of political tactics to fit America's political culture. But there are more sinister echoes from one of the darkest moments in modern history in Donald Trump's version of American fascism."
