Unlike [JD] Vance, who saw in Trump a wagon to which to hitch his star, [John] Kelly was at the end of a distinguished career when he joined the Trump administration. He meant to serve his country, not himself. He found that he was working for a fascist. As for the movement which Vance aspires to lead once Trump leaves the scene, it too has many features of fascism.
In 1995, the Italian novelist and critic Umberto Eco perceived a "ghost stalking Europe (not to speak of other parts of the world)." That ghost was fascism.
