^^^ Trumps narcissism and inability to see how unpopular he is, is the Democrats dream.

Historically POTUS try to lay low in most midterms where the electorate is looking for some change and check and balance on the Executive. Trump demanding to be out front shows how delusional he is.

Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

    Fascist regimes almostalways are governed by groups of friends and associates whoappoint each other to government positions and use governmentalpower and authority to protect their friends fromaccountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes fornational resources and even treasures to be appropriated or evenoutright stolen by government leaders.

  14. Fraudulent Elections
    Sometimes elections in fascistnations are a complete sham. Other times elections aremanipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination ofopposition candidates, use of legislation to control votingnumbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation ofthe media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciariesto manipulate or control elections."
