@1eccc0f8 I'm not really sure about using "Trumpism" to suggest that this resurgence in right wing populism with fascist overtones is something new when it feels like mostly the same old stuff repackaged. Some of the religious overtones of the US/UK current right seem quite different which seems to change a lot of things, but the way they claim most people secretly agree with them and including of conspiracy theories rings true as a parallel definitely.
