"What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it. "This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes. And all the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter.

Technically, a Coup Trumpism having passed through a failed putschist phase before moving into a legal approach to power that would seem to recommend an analogy with fascism, but again, the critics will not countenance this dynamic. The current seizure of the payments system of the Treasury Department reminds one fascist journalist Curzio Malaparteā€™s observations in his 1931 book The Technique of Coup dā€™Etat that the most successful modern coups are not frontal assaults on the institutions of the state, or bold military uprisings, but seizures of the stateā€™s technical ā€œnerve centers:ā€ ā€¦the problem of the modern coup dā€™ Etat is a technical problemā€¦Not the masses make a revolution, but a mere handful of men, prepared for any emergency, well drilled in the tactics of insurrection, trained to strike hard and quickly at the vital organs of the Stateā€™s technical services. These shock troops should be recruited from among specialized workmen : mechanics, electricians, telegraph and radio operators acting under orders of technical engineers who understand the technical working of the State. Iā€™m not sure Muskā€™s little groyper squad is a crack force in quite this way, but they are definitely attempting to seize the state's nerve centers. Itā€™s almost as if Trumpā€™s movement learned something and took a different approach.
