Supremacy of the military: his recently confirmed SecDef has publicly supported carpet bombing and explicitly endorsed the killing of innocent civilians on multiple occasions.

Sexism: Seriously? Not even going to comment on this one. If you don't see it, nothing will make you change your mind.

Controlled mass media: Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Instagram, and TikTok are now all now definitively controlled by party loyalists. This is where most of the non-seniors in the country get their news these days.

Obsession with national security: immigration should absolutely be part of this and it's one of the defining topics of the administration thus far.

Obsession with crime and punishment: Trump has himself repeatedly stated that he is the "LAW AND ORDER" candidate (oftentimes via tweet, in all caps). This would be funny given his conviction on 34 felony counts, but I don't really consider anything about the administration to be funny anymore. Also, "The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism": Republicans do this all the time, especially if it involves white officers and Black victims. "Blue lives matter", etc.

LOL

This is kindergarten level of political analysis

Your comment on sexism made me laugh out loud

Everyone is fascist now. Meaningless buzzword.
