One question worth pondering is whether Trump could, in fact, NOT be a fascist himself, but still be the head of a "fascist" movement. Both could be analytically correct, which is why some of us may be talking past one another.

NS as “Democratic” or antidemocratic echoes the debate about NS as modern or antimodern. I favor the latter position - yet admit that NS acquired traits of the former because it could not exist outside of, and had to engage with, its own era of existence.
