Guy- Lew Johnson's analysis, although more of a 30,000 ft view, is as typical of other things I have read by him, a very good assessment of what is happening here.
Towards the end of the article he began to get into the weeds a bit and opined as the long term effect of Trumps brand of Populism. He correctly (IMO) identified the key to the development of a long term strategy - Steve Bannon!
I think he is correct in his statement:

Trump does not read books, has no knowledge of history, no intellectual depth and probably only dimly descries what Bannon's strategy is and what its historical roots are.

Trump is an action guy focusing on the short-term action items that he can affect. Bannon, IMO, is a brilliant strategist. He is the key to the long-term strategy and will face increasingly extreme attacks from the neo-Fascists and the establishment politicos within the Republican party.
As Johnson alluded to, the neo-Fascists have been playing the long game for some time now (50-60 years). They are dug in within the politics of the inner cities, academia, primary/secondary education institutions. Routing the neo-Fascists out of these bastions will be critical for the long-term. A difficult task, but definitely doable. Once the immediate goals are met, this is where the battle space will be!
