  • A fascist is someone who believes in a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.

    Lets see, nation over individual? Yup, very much so

    Centralized autocratic government? Yup, see DOGE.
    Dictatorial leader? Given that trump openly admires dictators and that musk supports him, also yup.

    And the economic regimentation has been going on for a while now. (the rich become richer, the poor become poorer and have far less power)
    The denial of the existence of trans people already means a social regimentation. So that’s another check mark.

    The suppression of opposition: See what’s happening in Texas by their team members of the republican party, where they’re trying to oust the Democratic party from major political roles in committees and such.

    I’d say, it’s valid to call these people fascist.

    Especially Nazi Saluting Musk, who supports openly fascist, former leader of Reform UK, Tommy Robinson in the UK, the very fascist AfD in Germany (so extremely far on the right, that even far right-wing French politician Marine Le Pen distanced herself from them)
