A single specific event is not fascism. A series of events that indicates that the executive works transactionally and is willing to undermine every democratic principle that advances his interests is.

If Apple were to cite opposing fascism as their reason for ignoring Trump on DEI, that would be between hypocrisy and the hysterical. Fascism merits fighting at tremendous costs, personal and societal. If you use fascism as a reason for doing something, it means you’re willing to burn a lot of shit down, literally, to prevent Neo Hitler’s rise. It means you’re willing to put lives on the line. You can’t say you’re fighting fascism and then have tea with the fascist. You’re also morally bankrupt if you see fascism and aren’t willing to sacrifice personas comfort and safety to forcefully oppose, or at the very least, decouple from it. Crying wolf at authoritarian tendencies is tremendously dangerous, because it means we have no alarms left to ring if the system goes true fascist.
