That's what really surprises me with this crop of modern fascists: how utterly mediocre and grotesque they all are. Fascists of yesteryear tried to appear grandiose, impressive and worthy of the greatest respect.
Case in point, this is Martin Bormann, Hitler's councelor and thinking power behind the 3rd Reich:
And this is MAGA's equivalent:
The former tried to present himself as a well-kempt, important military figure (he was not), while the latter looks like a tramp picked right off the street.
That's the face of American fascism: sloppiness and mediocrity.
Same haircut though
