Got it. So it’s not “fascism” until its past the point of no return. Just like how the plane hasn’t crashed until it hits the ground, even if we’re 2000 feet off the ground and we were at 25000 feet 2 minutes ago. Thanks for the brilliant insight.

If you forewarn about a developing Fascist movement, you're simply taking away the meaning from the word until it's too late and the Fascists take power. You cannot call anything Fascist, for there may be something more Fascist that may need the power of the word. But ah! We couldn't call out their fledgling movement full of dog whistles and double speak so no one was aware enough to stop them as a fledgling movement!
