fan art recasting of #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPDonaldTrump (rather implausibly) as #NarrativeWarWWII General #IndivHistoricalFigureGeorgePatton i.e. https://www.soldierswalkmemorialpark.com/general-george-s-patton.html
Presumably the association was prompted by Trump himself i.e. "Before Trump hit the stage, the tone for his speech was set by a video clip of the opening monologue from the film 'Patton,' a 1970 biographical war film about U.S. General George S. Patton during World War II."
(description of Donald Trump's 'Save America' Rally at York Family Farms in Cullman, Alabama, 21 August 2021).
Supplementary: "What is fascism and neo-fascism other than this: totalitarian colonial dominating power over the other, set within the hierarchical pattern of understanding: as mentality in the individual; as mentality-structure in groups and societies; as a culture that glorifies the past and sees the past as the paradigmatic model for the present and for the future? Fascism gets its tools for the future from the past. It would be wrong to say that it is only backward looking, but it likes to construe future out of the past. Fascism is an absolute loyalty to the absolute ruler; the demonic collective uplifting of a finite person to infinite significance" (Jari Ristiniemi, 2018, p.120). Ristiniemi, J. (2018).
