What you're describing is Fascism, it should be called what it is.
Here is what Gemini AI tells me Fascism is, tell me if this sounds familiar:

Fascism is a far-right, ultranationalist, and authoritarian political ideology characterized by a powerful, often dictatorial, leader, a cult of national unity, the suppression of opposition, and a glorification of violence. It emerged in early 20th-century Europe as a reaction to the instability and perceived weakness of democratic systems, promising national rebirth and order at the cost of individual freedoms. Key features include extreme nationalism, scapegoating of minorities, extensive state control over the economy and society, and propaganda.
