A tenant is somebody who has a lease, for example to an apartment or one of those big metal sheds for a supermarket, and by analogy, customers of something like Microsoft's "Entra ID" (what was "Azure Active Directory" at least the new name is less confusing)
A tenet is a belief or principle that you believe in absolutely, I think we'd say that this "protects but does not bind / binds but does not protect" idea isn't a tenet of Fascism but instead an observable trait.
(Seriously, gerrymandering, redistricting weaponization, bribery/campaign contributions, and the like are all forms of election corruption.)
Fascism is a specific thing. You're describing the absence of the rule of law, which is common to everything from traditional ruling-family dictatorships to faux democratic communist politburos.
Meanwhile that's not even half the problem with laws like this. They would still be oppressive even if they were enforced uniformly against everyone, because ID requirements have chilling effects and disproportionately impact marginalized groups.
Remember that Snowden quote? Saying you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say. It goes the other way too and the people with nothing to say don't much care for free speech either.
In other words, rules for thee, but not for me.
Everyone needs to be familair with the 14 points of fascism. https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/fasci14chars.html
