I get it. I, too, don't like that so much of his family makes up his administration and that they are speaking at the RNC. But, likening it to a fascist regime? C'mon.
Here's the thing, though, that is what fascist regimes do. If Trump does something a fascist regime does, like install family members in high level positions because it would help ensure loyalty, then he's going to get compared to a fascist regime. It's not a common trait of western democracies to install family members in positions like that.
