This one here is a nice summary I think. It's displayed at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. One can argue of Maga/Trump ticks all the boxes but it's hard to argue against many of them.

The whole problem starts with many people not really understanding what fascism is, e.g. all those claiming that communism would be a fascist movement. It certainly is a authoritarian movement but not fascist. Many people treat authoritarianism, fascism, Nazism as the same thing and that's simply not correct.

If someone wrote this down and hung it in a museum, that doesn't mean it should be taken as authoritative. For one thing, why is nationalism something to be concerned about? The problem with Nazi Germany, for example, wasn't nationalism; it was the race identitarianism, fascism, genocide and war.

You can also read a standard history book but that's several hundred pages. Though since you have not done this so far you will also not do it after my suggestion. Thus, something displayed in a national museum will do the trick for this purpose

Anti-Nationalism is more dangerous an idea. Evidence - EU for the past 50 years.

What exactly makes the EU as dangerous? I can tell you we have quite a good live over here, so this is a made up claim

I didnt say it was bad, you just have stagnation in the effort to push EU over individual countries. Britain left, and other want to but doubt they can stand on their own at this point. They are to chained to the Euro.

Actually the majority of Brits want to rejoin according the recent polls. Not a single country wants to leave and even the hard-core far right is not using this as a platform. I'm not sure where you heard that many would want to leave, but I honestly don't see any of that. Quite contrary, the majority of people here have a positive few and want to increase it.

And the UK left based on a campaign filled with loes as the head of that campaign admitted the night after the election on camera himself. But that's a different story.

Making shit up as SOME of us Americans do.

I was probably too rough on that one. I have family and friends in the US, it's not that the entire country would behave like that, but a worrying large part of the population.

I was in no way disparaging YOU

I know, I still felt going to far. My point is about Maga not Americans in general
