    Yeah, Trump is best thought of as fascist Bernie. Neither of these men are good orators, they aren’t appealing to their enemies, but they’re hypnotic to their supporters. Going to a Bernie rally in 2016 was electric. It was an old man yelling about politics, but it was an old man yelling about how I deserved better and that the people who screwed me and my fellow Americans over need to pay to fix it. I imagine Trump feels the same way, except he’s not calling for payment in the form of money to provide Healthcare and a more equitable society.

    It’s similar to how you gotta remember that Hillary is shockingly charismatic one on one, she just really isn’t when speaking to a crowd
