Somebody doesn't comprehend the definition of "fascist".

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism

"a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition"

Take this 1 at a time:

"exalts nation and often race above the individual" - Trump, yes. Harris, no.

"stands for a centralized autocratic government" - Trump, yes. Harris, no.

"headed by a dictatorial leader" - Trump, yes. Harris, no.

"severe economic and social regimentation" - Trump, yes. Harris, no.

"forcible suppression of opposition" - Trump, yes. Harris, no.

The most superficial understanding of fascism. The original definition by Benito Mussolini was that fascism is corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power. Both parties very clearly represent the corporate class first and foremost.
