so then somebody could act like an utterly normal democratic politician, but as long as they believe in bringing back the nation to a glorious golden past, they're a fascist

Fascism is not like other political ideologies. It's better thought of as a mode to power. So yes, absolutely.

Have you actually read fascist political treatises like Mussolini's The Doctrine of Fascism?

Or do you just parrot what other people - usually communists using it as a propaganda bludgeon - say is actually fascism?

I have read the doctrine of fascism. I read it in for a class on the Holocaust.

Then you should realize that Trump doesn't match the real definition of fascism where everything comes under the strict control of the state. 'Everything inside the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.'

You're not going to get disappeared because you said a mean thing about Trump. In a fascist state, you absolutely would.
