Nazi Germany wasn't the Nazis we know in a day. Stalin wasn't the murderous person he was in a day. No authoritarian regime is their final form on the 1st day.
I get what you're saying as we're not there yet. Key word is YET. But to ignore those signs and say it's not fascism because we haven't crossed the dictionary definition yet is foolish. Plenty acts of fascism have been put in place since 2016 in the US. Don't pretend it's not pushing for a full-time job.
