Yes he has called people fascist in some of his speeches. Now compare that against everyone on CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Hollywood, etc etc etc relentlessly calling people names for nearly a decade. The difference is a thousand fold. There is no equivalence in quantity.

If this is really your perception, then you live in an incredibly well insulated bubble. If we are including media and pundits, I can assure you that the vitriol that has been coming from the right for well over a decade easily compares.
I'm asking people who don't like the result of the election to stop labelling everything Fascist. I'm trying to be helpful.

There is no right wing equivalent to the institutions I mentioned: CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Hollywood, not to mention schools, universities, tech giants like Google, Apple, Meta etc, all of whom lean left and have shown biases in their actions.

Please try to entertain the hypothesis that maybe I'm not the one in an incredibly well insulated bubble

Perhaps this might help you understand my point: https://world.hey.com/dhh/the-spells-are-spent-beaa675b
