Trumps followers have a genuine fanaticism about him. 40% of the USA seemingly blindly believes anything he says.
Trump is petty and vindictive, and willing to punish groups of people. It’s not hard to see how this goes bad. There are 650+ kids his administration seized that they can’t find parents or relatives for. That is barbaric, and was done early on in his time as president, when there were many more checks on his actions.

Mussolini was enormously popular with Italians in the mid-1930s.
If you read my above post, I clarify what I meant.
Fascist Italy is a fascinating study.
