Unforutnately, @Impassionata was 100% rihgt abuot everything. Donald Turmp is a fascist. I'ts not really funny to say so but it's ture. What did he do recently taht's fascistic? Let's review:
Trump reovkes Biden's pardnos with autpoen legal theory:

Trmup continues to talk about anneixng foreign countries:
Trump is just ignoring court csaes he doesn't agree wtih

Cuhds will continue to hide behind fear, hate and irony. But he who has ears let him hear. !nonchuds

'Fascist' implies he has a coherent political strategy.
Well, now yo'ure jsut being Trump-level r-slurred.

I love the r-slurs replying to you about how fascism doesn't have a coherent ideology. Very convenient isn't it? It's a peak midwit take that doesn't realize the logic should be reversed: because fascism has a fluid, often times incoherent ideology, various descriptors like wanting to annex more territory or ignoring court orders are not inherently fascist and therefore can't be used to define fascism. Especially considering the US and other non-fascist states have done such things before.
Fascism was a reaction to capitalism like communism was. But instead of blaming the bourgeoisie and then abolishing private property and establishing a worker's state, it instead creates a nationalist narrative of struggle against outsiders and then seeks to restructure the government and the whole society as a giant corporation in pursuit of that vision. Note this is the opposite of the government giving up its powers and privatizing its various institutions.
Shitlibs will try arguing that MAGAtards and Drumpf are fascist despite not having any coherent vision of what they want to country to be. They don't get that the incoherence of fascism is in its logic of how it explains its national struggle, not in the goals it aspires to which are very clear and straightforward. Fascist values and aesthetics are rigid as frick, Wingcucked morons might bring up groyper maymays that idolize the 50's, but none of Trump's policies nor the majority of his supporters have done or said much about bringing the 50's back. "Make America Great Again" isn't some super secret dogwhistle calling for a RVTVRN to the 50's, it's literally just about getting rid of illegal immigrants and removing DEI policies aka bog standard Republichud policies repackaged in Orange Man speak.
Most Americans aren't buying this r-slurred rhetoric. It's failing and only contrarian wingcucks are shilling it and it's obvious that they themselves don't actually believe it since if they actually did believe Trump was a fascist they would be getting the frick out instead of whining on Plebbit and Twitter.

This definitely doesn't make fascism sound like a content free label you can attach to anything you don't like.

I'm also in this camp.
His underlings will gas him up to push the envelope further, and some of them definitely have a much more insidious motivation.

a true federal republic, where each state can freely choose how its government works, and the federal government only ensures the absolute basics, like freedom of movement between those states?
