Trump is a proto-fascist asshole, no doubt about that but when it comes down to it he shared his worst aspects with every major candidate that ran for the GOP nomination this season. The only difference is that Trump didn&#x27;t play the game how he was supposed to so the media branded him as being <i>particularly evil</i> when he really is embodying the beliefs of the party that he now represents (and that all other candidates paid lip service to in one form or another).
