It's also a straw man. No reputable news sites are calling Donald Trump a fascist, a Nazi, or a racist. Twitter isn't the fucking media.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Aww, CoMD, you don't nearly have the grasp of nuance that you think you do.

When there's a alarmingly amount of similarities between the way Trump governs and the way authoritarian regimes govern, it's fair to point that out. And when he's using fear, misinformation and xenophobia as tools, it's only fair to point out rulers who have used those tools before.

Give Brietbart time. The current administration will inevitably do something that pisses off their customer base.....and then they'll get in on the "fake news" market.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yeah, but by the time it becomes obvious to everyone, Brietbart included, that Trump is a royal fuck up, they'll conveniently forget how much they supported everything he did. After all, that's what happened with Dubya.

So you evidence is a cartoon made up by conservatives to bash the media. Not actual news.
