The point of "warning signs of fascism" is that it is too late to act when people are being rounded up in cattle cars. Trump and the MAGA movement checked off all the Umberto Eco warning signs of fascism a long time ago and day to day things are only getting worse. Jon Stewart (and the full on Vichy Bill Maher) will be seen by history as people who were on the wrong side of history when they could have made a difference.

I am not entirely sure why (I have my guesses), but murderous dictators seem in fact generally NOT to be terribly bright. The fact that Drumpf is a complete idiot who could probably maim himself with plastic cutlery is no comfort. In prison, tortured or dead, you are still in prison, tortured, or dead, even if the guy who ordered it pushes when the door says pull.
