I read this when it was published (or perhaps partway and then it got lost in the tab forest). Thank you, because it was worth reading again for me, and lays out reasonable straightforward arguments for anyone just stumbling upon it for the first time.

But to be clear, what was I asking these interlocutors for was their definitions of fascism that back up the argument that trumpism is not fascism. So far the only answer I have gotten is "There is no definition of fascism that has meaning anymore" which is obviously nonsensical in the context of both Deveraux's and Doctorow's posts using the term productively.

I apologise. Reading-comprehension.exe has failed 100% on my side. Thank you for pointing that out.
It probably didn't help that I replied to myself to respond to a dead comment! "We're all in this together, kid"
