Agreed. From the relevant wiki:
Roger Griffin describes fascism as "a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultranationalism." Without
palingenetic ultranationalism, there is no "genuine fascism" according to Griffin. Griffin further describes fascism as having three core components: "(i) the rebirth myth, (ii) populist ultra-nationalism, and (iii) the myth of decadence."
Other items from the pre-Trump checklist include violent direct action to achieve political ends, corporatist economics, aggressive expansionist foreign policy, and a cult of personality around a charismatic leader.
