Robert Paxton has a good formulation
"Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion."

This anything?
The classic fascist "Hard Times Create Strong Men" meme, but the Strong Men are MLK, Obama, and Biden; the Good Times are US GDP growth post Great Depression; the Weak Men are Musk, RFK, Trump, and Mike Johnson; and the Hard Times are the train fire and plane crash from this week.
