Yes but Godwin himself is said that with Trump at hand
the NAZI references are completely natural.  He said that in
the first Trump term.  I agree.  But Trump is not a Fascist
because that idea is one he cannot understand.

He just wants to be a Mob boss.

He's too sloppy to succeed at that.

One of the guys whose prison sentence was commuted (but who was not
pardoned) has been saying nasty things about him as result. I don't
know if he can prove clear Trump involvement in the insurrectionary
activity he was convicted of or not, but he clearly thinks he took the
fall for him.

Back in 2016, in another context, I noted that cosying up with
alt-right militia grouips was a poor choice, as, if they felt
betrayed, they were both mean enough and armed enough and determined
enough to take serious and effective action.

I still think he and his buddies are best regarded as petulant
5-year-olds.
