I have no preferred pronouns, I don't really care. I'm traditionally referred to as he/him.
I think, and the reactions in this OP confirm it, that the whole gender discussion has been blown out of proportion, mainly by those who refuse to be polite.
No.
"Mein Kampf" was already out in '33. His fascist ideas were known.
What we have from Trump is "The Art of the Deal", which he didn't write himself, and, afaik, it doesn't contain fascist ideas.
The fact that the MSM isn't his friend, is an indication that he doesn't control them. And he won't when he wins. The media is controlled by people who are a lot more powerful than him. He doesn't even have control over Fox News.

You should listen to Anton, daily. He is one of my favourite science communicators. This video is not typical for his work, as it is a list of related phenomena. He usually has one experiment or paper on which he focuses. He usually understands what he is talking about and avoids clickbait and...
States have not completely erased the discussion of slavery (, yet). They have removed the word "slavery" from textbooks and have removed the topic from some curricula for certain age groups, but not all. Their work isn't done, yet, but the tendency is to whitewash the darker bits of US history.
That article and the OP that was based on it was the inspiration for this OP.
I'm in no way defending Trump. His is an authoritarian, read and admires Hitler, uses some of his tactics, but he lacks some key characteristics. Stylizing him as the "new Hitler" is pure hyperbole - though he may...
For this debate, I'll use The 14 Characteristics of Fascism, by Lawrence Britt, Spring 2003 as a basis. It isn't a definition of fascism, but a collection of characteristics fascist countries had.

Trump: yes; MAGA: YES; the US: yes

Southern schools' history textbooks: A long history of deception, and what the future holds
Again, someone who doesn't know what fascism really is.
Trump is authoritarian, and he has some fascist tendencies, but he isn't one. He's maximally fascistoid.
They are terrifyingly weird, but they don't fit the definition of a cult. MAGAts behave like they are in a cult, but they are doing the mind control to themselves.
You can't put that on Trump. It may be convenient for him, but it's not his idea. Parts of the GOP, even without MAGA, have tried to rewrite US history for a long time. Especially, southern states have removed slavery from their curricula and textbooks. Attempts to change history, so that the US...
Yep. You can skip that process, if you have very high quality meat, like sirloin, tenderloin or rump steak. They don't need tenderizing. Just salt, pepper, soy sauce and sugar/honey. Stir-fry in hot oil for a few seconds separately and set aside. Prepare veggies and noodles, add meat at the end.
Of all the people who have been PotUS, or running for that office, in this century, I'd bet that only one would score below the 80th percentile on a psychopathy test.
If humans are anything like rats or mice, they may be right. A famous experiment is Universe 25, in which a population of mice collapsed without external limiting factors.
The question is whether we are in such a scenario. We have limiting factors and the limits are sinking due to...
The US has often been compared to classical Rome, and Rome didn't dissolve immediately when the Republic ended. But it also didn't get back to a republic ever. Prepare for interesting times, prepare for Nero and Caligula. Especially prepare for Theodosius. And after that, prepare for the fall.
