Salon: Donald Trump wants to keep the American people asleep in a fascist dream-nightmare

The usual take is that Donald Trump is Hitler, but Chauncey DeVega, senior politics writer for Salon, thinks that Trump is more like horror icon Freddy Krueger from the “Nightmare on Elm Street” films, but worse. Krueger just murdered kids in their sleep, but he wasn’t a fascist. Trump, on the other hand, wants Americans to continue sleeping in his fascist dream-nightmare. Americans must “wake up and vanquish him and American neofascism for all time.” This is better than when Juan Williams compared Evan McMullin to Luke Skywalker destroying the Death Star.

DeVega writes:

It now seems possible that American people are on the verge of waking up from Trump’s dream-nightmare. Trump and his followers and agents are desperately trying to stop this from happening.

On Tuesday, Trump finally announced that he will run for president again in 2024. In this sequel, we can think of Trump as a type of sleep demon, a fascist version of the legendary horror-movie monster Freddy Krueger. Trump’s third presidential campaign is meant to keep the American people asleep. If they wake up, Trump’s dark power may finally be broken.

As he has done repeatedly, Trump is echoing and channeling the same kind of violent, apocalyptic, fantastical and profoundly paranoid rhetoric that fueled the fascist movements of 20th-century Europe, up to and including Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. In recent months, Trump has become even more explicit in his threats of widespread chaos and violence if he is indicted or otherwise punished by the Department of Justice or other law enforcement agencies.

So he did manage to work Hitler in there.

The “red wave” that wasn’t is his evidence that Americans are waking up.

It’s the over-the-top rhetoric like this that only generates support for Trump.
