Reading Michael Parenti's book from 1997, "Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism", I came across this paragraph that almost directly describes why a Trump is so popular and may be our next president:

"The Italian neofascists were learning from U.S. reactionaries how to achieve fascism's class goals within the confines of quasi-democratic forms: use an upbeat, Reaganesque optimism; replace the jackbooted militarists with media-hyped crowd pleasers; convince people that government is the enemy -- especially its social service sector -- while strengthening the repressive capacities of the state; instigate racist hostility and antagonisms between the resident population and immigrants; preach the mythical virtues of the free market; and pursue tax and spending measures that redistribute income upward."
