How Fascism Works: A Warning for the U.S. | Amanpour and Company

Fascism isn't just a word used as a meaningless insult, it's about specific behaviors characteristic of Fascists through history and into today, most problematically Trump.  Trumpsters will of course reflexively deny the obvious charge, but since the single most defining characteristic of Fascism is a 'strong leader' and Trump's got his followers believing that even his draft dodging doesn't disqualify him from that title, which just shows the strength of his cult grip on them.  

This is a very well done interview of an expert on the topic of Fascism.
