Umberto Eco wrote a 1995 @nybooks essay called “Ur-Fascism” in which he named 14 features of fascism. He said only one need be present for fascism to coagulate around it. By my count Trumpism as currently practiced in the US hits all 14. Every one. 
@nybooks Eco lived through Mussolini’s fascism. Italian fascism was different from Nazism which is different from Trumpism. Eco’s point is that all fascisms will be distinct to different cultures and historical moments, but they have a *family resemblance.* Here is the family resemblance.
(I should add I’ve abridged these for length, but the language is all his.)
