Trump is all dictators at the same time, aren't you scared of him yet?

Gist of it, Drumphf said mean things about immigrants, and so did Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini 
But neither has this rhetoric been tried in modern American politics. Several generations of American politicians have assumed that American voters, most of whom learned to pledge allegiance to the flag in school, grew up with the rule of law, and have never experienced occupation or invasion, would be resistant to this kind of language and imagery. Trump is gambling—knowingly and cynically—that we are not.
Funny that it's democrats who try to put an end to this

the pledge of allegiance is the activation, as in oral practice, of the national mythos cult ideology. I loosely consider it harmless. is it fascist? because all national myth is supportive of a jingoistic narrative, it's a little fascist; you can measure it in microfascisms but you will still have to measure it thus. In school you have the option not to say it. This is an introduction to the notion of freedom of speech and questionable allegiances; for this I think it good education. But there's no denying that because it is 17.76 microfascisms, it marks the danger.
democrats who try and put an end to this have a certain right to their opinion. There's nothing wrong about the motivation to reduce the microfascism exposure, even if I personally don't think eliminating that source of microfascism emissions would have prevented the current fascism.
Let me see if I can just dash this out:
Trump is called fascist by a bunch of people. Bush did not vote for him.
The child separation policy, a deliberate policy of cruelty, is implemented. Over 1000 kids are still separated from their parents.
Trump summons his militia through Steve Bannon (January 6 documents out of Chutkan case show) and many people have gone to jail already for his attempted coup.
Bush called January 6th an insurrection.
Trump indicates he will mobilize the military to round up undesirable people.
If you placed your bet on "Trump is not a fascist" in 2016 and have not figured out that you lost, too bad!, you lost, it was fascism. It was at least 1000 millifascisms and it didn't come from the pledge of allegiance.

not my original observation, but a nation of immigrants (as opposed to autochthonous) has to be more top-down in enforcing patriotism. This increases as you diversify further, i.e. going from a pool of European nationalities, to including Asians, Africans, Indians etc. Aristotle made the observation millennia ago that multiculturalism tends to authoritarianism.

bush went after a dictator who did in fact conduct a genocide
he got his hands dirty no doubt
but he understood the middle east better than anyone, and the American people wanted the war in Iraq by simple majority.
sometimes, right or wrong, the genocidal dictator loses and that's a bloody trophy on America's wall of tragedy
but you shouldn't doubt that he is team America, at least.
