Mussolini was a party appatchik, Trump is not
Mussolini was an intellectual whote wrote polotical essays and books, Trump has not
Mussolini was a soldier, Trump is not
Mussolinin staged a coup, Trump is running a legal political campaign
The comparison between these 2 is false and just shows how desperate the left-wing athoritarianis like the OP are when it comes to Trump
As to this false claimn of anti-intellectualism, the fact that the US leads the world in terms of innovation across the spectrum shows there is not lack of intellectual ability in the US.
What is labeled anti-intellectualism is actually the exercise of Americans to resist a left-wing authoritarian technocracy which they clearly understand is a threat to the lives, liberty and prosperity
as for the decline of the education systems, that is a government-created problem since government runs the schools and just further cements the notion that Americans do not trust those who think they know better than the people themselves how their lives should be lived
