    Right, the guy who rants about immigrants having “bad genes” and lies about them eating people’s pets as a way to dehumanize them is totally not a fascist.

    The guy who attempted a putsch to secure power outside of democratic channels is certainly not a fascist.

    The guy trying to provoke his neighbors into a territorial dispute and threatening to “annex” countries for natural resources is totally not a fascist.

    The guy who is enriching his corporate cronies while they consolidate power for the regime is definitely not a fascist (nor is the guy doing Nazi salutes at his inauguration).

    The guy rounding people up with a secret police force and sticking them in camps can’t possibly be a fascist.

    The guy demonizing anything to the left of white nationalism as communism/socialism isn’t a fascist.

    No way the guy who was denounced by his own VP as “America’s Hitler” is a fascist.

    And therefore the people who support him can’t be fascist!

    That’s a pretty smart take you’ve got there.

      You forgot “the guy who is calling for his political opponents to be killed or deported isn’t a fascist”.
