Maybe you should look up the definition of fascist and check whose rhetoric and actions align with what happened in Germany a hundred years ago.
“fascism” means something specific. It's bad that you Americans only have the choice between an average Western neoliberal colonialist and a fascist, but it's very clear which one is the lesser evil.
I'm not shitting you, there's actually academic definitions of the hallmarks of fascism, and you should actually look them up instead of vaguely gesturing towards the job description of Western political leaders and going “it's totes the same thing bro, trust me bro”
I know reading is hard, but when you communicate with people, it's kinda the assumption. Again, I'm neither from, nor currently living in, the US.
