Can you compare America in 2024 with Germany in 1930 or Donald Trump to a Fascist?

Does history rhyme? Should we make comparison between Germany in the 1930 and America in 2024? Are there parallels between the rise of Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump. Or are such comparison – ahistorical and ridiculous.

This video was incorrect in several ways. Fascism rose in ancient Rome, not Germany in WWI. The word fascist comes from a fasces which was a bundle of sticks around an axe. It was used to show power in Rome. You portray Fascism as only a bad thing and you are incapable of showing it from both sides.
Interesting and relevant
