A picture of a poster hanging in the US Holocaust Museum listing the early warning signs of fascism has been shared thousands of times in response to Donald Trump’s first week in office.

The warning includes ‘rampant sexism, obsession with national security, corporate power protected and rampant cronyism and corruption’ among tell-tale signs of a fascist takeover.

And many people are worried they can see history repeating itself.

Many anti-Trump activists are pointing out similarities between the list and some of the executive orders the new POTUS has brought into effect in his initial week, including the ‘Refugee Ban’ which has split up families as many are detained at airports while trying to return to the US.

‘Tell me you can’t check most if not all of these off. Then tell me we’re ok.’

The list, which hangs in the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC, was written by political scientist Laurence W Britt.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, January 27, Trump received widespread criticism for signing an executive order limiting the acceptance of refugees into the US and marking the occasion with a speech that did not mention Jews or the millions of Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust even once.

Last November the US Holocaust Memorial Museum released a powerful statement in response to reaction of white supremacists to Donald Trump’s election victory.

The museum, a living memory to those senselessly slaughtered in the holocaust and a reminder to confront hatred and prevent genocide, said it was ‘deeply alarmed at the hateful rhetoric’ that seems to have been normalised following Trump’s victory.

‘The Holocaust did not begin with killing; it began with words.’
