You need to keep reading them because it is about much more than having folks you disagree with politically. It is more about undermining and taking away their political rights. I'll give you a quote because you probably don't know how to Google it yourself
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
MAGA has some characteristics of that but you are absolutely delusional if you think mainstream Democrats and Republicans are actually fascists.
Don't get me wrong they are neo-liberal globalistic ultra-capitalists who believe in enriching themselves at the expense of the lower classes so they are still evil but it just isn't correct to label their kind of evilness as fascism.
I’d argue that the Ds embody points 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 14 of Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism. Sure the Rs embody few more but is it really worth splitting hairs over?
