During the show, Hunt asked Paladino how to β€œrouse the population” and get people thinking about change.

Paladino replied: β€œI was thinking the other day about somebody had mentioned on the radio Adolf Hitler and how he aroused the crowds. And he would get up there screaming these epithets and these people were just β€” they were hypnotized by him. That's, I guess, I guess that's the kind of leader we need today. We need somebody inspirational. We need somebody that is a doer, has been there and done it.”

In case you're wondering this is literally one of the correct ways to define fascism according to Paxton.

No policy, no rationality - a desire for a bold leader that takes action and ignores everything else.

Hannah arendt says Mussolini was the first leader to replace doctrine and policy with inspired action alone. Mussolini himself declared the people need not a doctrine, but "the will of a duce."

"No policy, no rationality" is darning enough. Redditors and Tweeters seem to need to latch on to 'fascist' or 'nazi' because they are convenient and millennials require overstatement.

For me, "governing like a crazy b-word throwing all your shit on the lawn" is more fundamentally undesirable.

That is, call daddy a nazi and most of your audience will rightly tune you out. Talk about the budget deficit he ran while 8xing the money supply (meaning the debt is going to get a lot more expensive), you can rightly call him a dumb b-word fricking up fiscal conservatives' shit.

Here is the trick, find the most despised group in your society, and then loudly proclaim why they are the source of all evil in the community. Every single frickup in the communities life, pass on the blame to this group. 9 time out of 10 works every time.
