Likewise, anything authoritarian gets called fascist, too, as if people assume that only fascists can be dictators.

Trump won with the minority popular vote. So there's that. He's controlling narratives away from negative views of his party.
-
His policies involve cutting off resources for marginalized communities. His supporters call anyone not a white man a "snowflake."
-
His rise to power was strongly aided by technology. He wants to march tanks through DC in a show of military might.
-
He has a singular focus on restoring manufacturing jobs to the US at the expense of other services.
-
And he and his team regularly harp about "unity" and patriotism.
-
So yes, Trump is a fascist and his team promotes fascism. Not because I disagree with them, but because actions align with fascist policy.
-
If you talk like a fascist and you act like a fascist and you govern like a fascist, you're probably a fascist.

Authoritarianism isn't fascism, although the latter usually begets the former. Not every authoritarian is a fascist.
-
So when people say, "doing X makes you the real fascist," it's because they have no idea what they're talking about.

TLDR: fascism requires mandatory unity for strengthening the state and isn't about dismissing speech or dissent. And I'm done. tyall
