Yes, that is exactly what I am implying. If you follow an egomaniac, misogynist, sociopathic coward who wants a personality cult at the cost of democracy, and you're dumb or ignorant enough to follow that guy, by definition that makes you a fascist.

I don't even know what "fascist" means any more. :(

More to the point, Trumpism is synonymous with authoritarianism. (A particularly lazy and incompetent authoritarianism, fortunately.)

Trump support is now synonymous with fascism. The die was cast when Congress was attacked in an attempted coup.
Not all conservatives are Trump supporters.

Trump won 74MM votes, I think it's safe to say for that all intents and purposes a conservative is a Trump supporter.

The vast majority support overturning the election to install their own leader.
What would you call that?

That's an opinion and a generalization of tens of millions of people.

It's an opinion backed up by solid, repeatable polling of Republicans and conservatives in general.
Example: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/23/2020-election-results-almost...
It’s a widely held opinion, but it’s also complete bullshit with no evidence to support it.

Except all those polls. Let's see yours.
Those polls show that most people don’t show that the election was stolen.
So if we were going by polls, it’s clearly complete bullshit.
But polls aren’t evidence. There is no evidence. If there were, it would have been presented, and Trump would be on his way to his second term.
Here is a poll:

Does this make it true that Trump should resign?

We're talking about conservatives, not people in general. Don't move the goalposts.
I’m not - I’m pointing out that the fact that a minority of the country thinks something simply is not evidence that it is true.
Opinion polls are not evidence of truth.

Tens of millions of people who are, and always have been, more concerned about fake voter fraud than actual voter suppression.
It seems ludicrous to suggest that millions of conservatives across the US are fascists. It isn't productive nor does it offer any solutions for people to communicate, resolve their differences, and coexist.
