I think this perfectly explains where Bardfinn's own autocratic, authoritarian, censorfascist tendencies come from:

I spent decades studying why the Nazis rose to power? And read Mein Kampf in the original German? And can evaluate cults and cult leaders? And volunteer 50+ hours a week to shut down cults of hatred on Reddit?

Trump has a cult of personality -- it's a manufactured product, an artifice, like everything else around him. He has as much personal charisma as Jabba the Hutt.

The people who are in his cult of personality are people who bought the product he sold, that his handlers sold, that his political party sold.

He's not capable of charisma. His money and his attorneys fix things for him to provide the evil people following him the thinnest of pretexts that he "has charisma".

It's important to rip the bandage off. The man has no charisma.

The more I read posts like this the more I am starting to think that the only reason Bardfinn supposedly studied the Nazis (and remember what I said about there being no evidence at all of Bardfinn being a recognized anti-fascist researcher) is so that he could learn how to best suppress people. How did the Nazis round up the Jews? They had IBM databases for that. What is Bardfinn doing right now? Creating his own database of wrongthinkers, just like Hitler did with the Jews he was going to round up. Guess who Bardfinn caught the data-basing bug from.
