It’s iffy with me. It overshadows the homegrown history of this stuff from a country that inspired the Nazis. Jackson, McKinley, Wilson, Buchanan, Hoover. The list goes on. They’ve done a lot of the same things and have stronger parallels to Trump and yet they’re overlooked all the time in favor of being compared to fascists from across the pond.
Like I’ll see foreigners make the Hitler comparison with Bukele when Central America has no shortage of fascist assholes to compare him to.
