I have trouble taking people seriously when they use “fascist” as a blanket term to discredit people they don’t like.

I have trouble taking people seriously when they refuse to call things what they are because they don’t want to admit it.

Trump has given power back to the states for various things and seems to be consistently anti-war. Musk has been pushing the idea of starting a new political party to better represent the people and is for less regulation and smaller government.

This doesn’t sound like a couple of fascists.

It's fascist in the anti-communist sense sure, but most Americans would be fascist then.

No, it's fascist in the sense of nativism and public-private collaboration that was normative in fascist states. Most Americans are ambivalent to communism.

You can't not be nativist to some degree. Otherwise all you have is an economic zone, not a country.

That's a completely ridiculous definition of fascism and again, if you pick that most Americans would be fascist and consider it a good thing.

Most Americans, who are working class, want the state to collaborate with their employers against their interests? Quite a bold assertion.
