Republicans: Pull yourself up by the bootstraps, kill all social programs, raise taxes on the 99%, kill public infrastructure, and lastly go fuck yourself (Republican voter base proceeds to cheer)

Democrats: Uhhhhh.... Tax cuts for small buisnesses anyone? Oh wait the republicans are calling us communist for doing that. Well if we just compromise with them and allow sooome fascism we'll be able to get some of our agenda across as well. (Leftists proceed to boo the Dems for being Fascism Lite™)

Bipartisan war in drugs/police state

Examples of Fascism:

Funding "Israel"s genocidal "war"
Funding dictators (ex: Saudi Arabia, Jordan, etc)
Tax breaks for the wealthy in exchange for favors
Compromising on the civil liberties of minorities
Allowing states to establish Fascism
Normalizing Fascist positions (ex: border, security, defense, etc)
Actively fighting actural Leftists because they make the capitalist class feel uncomfortable

You need to give examples that aren't fascist.

Giving support to Israel is one example that some people would likely provide. I would like to see as few war crimes as possible, and I'm not certain that Israel isn't committing any (to put things very lightly).
