It's not technically hard to verify if you care to do that, and consistent with what I've seen about patterns of reach.

There are a ton of people who believed Musk's words, thinking he wasn't a fascist, for whom words are a means of manipulation, rather than a means of conveying meaning

It's a neologism, rather like "inflammible" because "negative" is an awful word to use for marketing.

I think the ones who might have a spine were purged from the Republican Party over the last few years. There might be a couple in the Senate and a few more in the house, but nowhere near enough

What do you mean nothing? They've actively supported him.

Read the article. It's pretty clear that they're looking at both podcasts and video content and at multiple platforms.

We need every reasonably large group on board, so Catholic support for doing the right thing is something I'll welcome.

It's a meaningful change from his prior stance that the prisoners would die in CECOT

He has only been sighted reading one book:

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

"Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?" I asked Trump.

Trump hesitated. "Who told you that?"

"I don't remember," I said.

"Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." ("I did give him a book about Hitler," Marty Davis said. "But it was My New Order, Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish.")

Later, Trump returned to this subject. "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."

Is Ivana trying to convince her friends and lawyer that Trump is a crypto-Nazi? Trump is no reader or history buff. Perhaps his possession of Hitler's speeches merely indicates an interest in Hitler's genius at propaganda

How things really work don't matter much when you're a fascist. They simply lied, lied big, and lied often, until people were convinced otherwise
