Again: I am not saying "fascism" lightly. Narratives of decay from former glory and a cult of sentimental traditionalism, authoritarianism, ethnic nationalism, praise of violence as a cleansing force, contempt for deliberative democracy and compromise (coded as "weakness"), revenge and punishment obsessions for perceived "enemies" and deploying state agencies to do so, chauvinism, sexism, trans- and homophobia, etc. - all here.
