In 1860, Abraham Lincoln won the presidential election and for the first time in American history, a president got elected without getting a single electoral vote from the South.
Southerners could see the writing on the wall: a future in which the North could keep electing presidents without them, and eventually outlaw slavery — either through Congress or the Supreme Court.
So Southern states seceded from the union, launching a “pre-emptive counter-revolution".
What you have is the kind of pre-emptive anger of a certain part of the white population that understands within the next decade or two, Anglo-WASP America — white Anglo-Saxon America — is going to be a minority in this country, and they’re angry about that.
Trump is the leader. He’s the Jefferson Davis of his own time.
Trump shares key characteristics with fascist leaders of the 20th century — a propensity for political violence, aggressively xenophobic hyper-nationalism and a loathing of the political left.
Trump would cross the line when people start wearing specific colors to identify with him. Mussolini’s blackshirts, Adolf Hitler’s brownshirts and William Dudley Pelley’s silver shirts were all militant enforcers of their movement’s tough-guy nationalist cause.
If Trump goes there, maybe we’ll call them redhats.
