Nazism was fascism of a certain place and time.

IMO, ICE and the private prison industry have become Trump's version of the SS.

Carrying out the scapegoating and persecution of people.

He has a modern day version of brown shirts in the deplorables.

I don't think he really has a gestapo yet. He thinks the gestapo is the mythical deep state.

He seems to be working pretty hard at replacing it with his own though.
