Italy is a good example why it's foolish to use "fascist" to describe everything one doesn't like. The European politically correct press was wary of the new "post-fascist" leader of Italy, promising us black shirts and leather boots again. In reality, Italians got a classic right-wing government, which increased work visas for non-european migrants (as they usually do, since doing the opposite of what you were elected for is a common habit in Europe).

In reality "fascist" is a qualifier to frighten white people voting for a right-wing government. Trump base by the way is not fascist, it's the evangelical bible belt. Which is crumbling at the moment, by the way.
