> People were calling Trump a fascist for his entire presidency, when the main thing that characterized his presidency was irresponsible ANTI-authoritarianism.

Yes! This is amazing. There is absolutely nothing fascist about Trump - from his complete lack of anything aesthetic, his terrible diction, his lackluster speeches (despite the big rallies, which show people are hungry for something better in this direction.)

> Lowering taxes, pulling back business regulations, pulling out of climate agreements and pulling back restrictions on energy production.

Whereas under fascism the exact opposite was in effect: new regulations, new control, and an early effort toward environmentalism was evident.
