He's not. He's waiting tables and taking orders.

In competitive states, he won by only 43k votes as opposed to the many more votes he won by in the popular vote. In other words, had those votes been cast differently, the electoral college would be very different

But Trump lacks rebirth rhetoric outside of 'MAGA' He isn't seeking to subjugate the other nations of the world for the spirit of America. He didn't really support the US military, and doesn't employ brown shirts to silence opposition. That may be because our institutions are durable enough to resist him now though.

I do see the argument though. I however oppose reductionism. It's dehumanizing and anti-democratic. Problem comes when one has to fight populism with intellectualism. It doesn't work because it's not snappy

I'd like to point out that the political compass is a really bad construct for understanding politics. Ideology is made from smaller factors such as economics, tradition, religion, intellectualism, and other institutions. Fascism came out of socialist circles, as did Nazism. The modern political compass came out of the cold war and helped both sides justify themselves: the communists who wanted to be as far from the Nazis as possible and the Americans who wanted to be seen as the voice of the moderates. (Don't look at the Molotov-Ribbontrop pact or Jim Crow)

The Republican party promotes Right wing populism. Elements of that include autarky, isolationism and conservatism.

Fascism is a very specific ideology, and while the leader of the Republican party Trump has some things in common with it, he is not on the war path like a true fascist would be. He is less imperialist than previous presidents. He wants to pull out from NATO and abandon the Kurdish people in Syria. Again, Trump is a populist. He did not come out of socialist circles preaching an anti-elitist message.

Israel doesn't really need the aid. They're doing just fine militarily

Please elaborate

I don't really have a guide anywhere, but there are a number of them on the web. One of the OSINT powerhouses is BellingCat. They make finished products. There's https://liveuamap.com/en for a map on the RU/UA war. Oryx is a good estimate for equipment losses there (I bet you can tell where my interests lie) I'd recommend getting to know some of these finished products first. That, and reading about the history of where you are looking at. Learning about the politics of Coal? Read some books about it. Get some perspectives. Want to know about the Isreal/Palestine conflict? Get to know the last 100 years of conflict since the Ottoman Empire fell

There's a real big difference in bits and bites investigating and actual finished products. A lot of the tools out there are for getting these bits and bites like https://osintframework.com/. One can buy commercial satellite photos, but those are expensive. They're usually already bought by people on Twitter anyway. Putting together products is the hard part though, and there are quite a few pitfalls that one can fall into between unreliable sources and deceptive imagery persuasion or DIP. Ryan McBeth is a great source to look at to help you spot this sort of thing.

I suggest getting into the world of OSINT. There's a lot that can be learned there, and many sources are independent of any government.

True. Al Jazeera is a Qatari state run media enterprise. They're pretty reliable on news on things outside the Middle East, but tend to have a massive bias when it comes to matters of Qatar's interests.

Please remember, just because Trump doesn't respect the rule of law, doesn't mean you shouldn't either.

You probably don't work for a large company who has a duty to their shareholders. Large companies tend to save any penny they can because it scales up across the company. The workers at the bottom have no way to communicate with their employers too.

Small business has a shorter hierarchy, where you can go talk to the head of the company. They're usually private companies that don't have public shareholders.
