I'm wondering if the biggest difference between the original/originary fascist movements of the 1920s through the '40s and the C21 fascism personified by trump, Bolsonaro, Orban et. al. is the utter nihilism of the latter. Italian and German fascism wanted to destroy democracy and the rights of man articulated by thinkers of the Enlightenment, along with certain populations they considered inconvenient and/or subhuman, plus any notion of truth informed by sense, intelligence, science, or reality. The modern heirs of C20 fascism want to do all of that and much, much more—for them it's not only about destroying disliked populations; it's about destroying the planet as a place hospitable to humans, including the trumpites themselves. Their suicidal-as-well-as-homicidal nature is also visible in the overlap between the trump movement and the anti-vax/anti-mask movement. What to do? Damned if I know, they're hard to reach. It's probably best, though, to act as if we're not completely fucked, in spite of whatever intuition one might have that we are.
