In his book How #Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them (2018), Jason Stanley defined fascism thusly:

Cult of the leader who promises national restoration in the face of humiliation brought on by supposed communists, Marxists and minorities and immigrants who are supposedly posing a threat to the character and the history of a nation ... The leader proposes that only he can solve it and all of his political opponents are enemies or traitors.
