How many rioters fit the MW dictionary definition of fascism? Quite a few, I'd say.
exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
That reads like the #blueanon manifesto.
-Grant nearly limitless power to massive oligarchical most favored mega corp (virtue signaling) partners
-Openly support a leader who has signed the most (dictatorial - his words as Presidential candidate) executive orders in US history
-redefine free speech and use the redefinition to censor and suppress
-Demand central state control over nearly every facet of life
-embrace perpetual war as an ongoing act of foreign policy
-Rewrite the constitution to circumvent the powers it grants individual states within the Republic
-ignore generational gerrymandering and oppressive voting laws in #blueanon political strongholds. While calling voting laws in non #blueanon strongholds racist and suppression without any evidence
-openly call for the “re-education” of political opponents
-support a domestic strike force against citizens
Etc etc etc
Inside every progressive is a fascist/racist trying to get out
