Elon visited Auschwitz with Ben Shapiro and declared he was "aspirationally Jewish". Trump has Jewish children and Grandchildren. Calling someone fascist and Hitler gets them murdered these days, I wish people would be more sensible.

Fascism and Jewishness are not inherently inexorably opposed such that being “aspirationally Jewish” (if that weren't a completely vacuous claim to start with) or having Jewish family members is counterevidence to being a fascist; Xenophobia and creating a foreign enemy are common elements of fascism, which foreign enemy it is not consistent among different particular instances of fascism.

The resurgent fascism in America and its government kills far more people, far more directly, than calling people fascist could reasonably be claimed to.

I am not sure what you mean by fascism in America or what deaths you are referring to. Seems you are okay with some political inspired murder though.
