First of all, the term “Fascist” gets thrown around a lot. I don’t mean it like “bully” or “thing I disagree with.” I want something more clearly defined, so I’m going to say that this “American Fascism” is a version of Fascism as defined by Umberto Eco.

Here are some examples of what I mean.

Point 1 is “The Cult of Tradition.” Which American traditions would you use?

Point 6 is “Appeal to a Frustrated Middle Class.” How would you appeal to them? Which frustrations would you exploit?

Point 10 is “Contempt for the Weak.” Which “weak” group would be targeted? Hitler targeted the Jews and Romani, who would American Fascism target?

The details are on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism#Umberto_Eco.

Here is the summarized list:
1. “The Cult of Tradition”
2. “The Rejection of modernism”
3. “The Cult of Action for Action’s Sake”
4. “Disagreement Is Treason”
5. “Fear of Difference”
6. “Appeal to a Frustrated Middle Class”
7. “Obsession with a Plot”
8. “Enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak”
9. “Pacifism is Trafficking with the Enemy”
10. “Contempt for the Weak”
11. “Everybody is Educated to Become a Hero”
12. “Machismo”
13. “Selective Populism”
14. “Newspeak”
