“What’s different is that fascism was largely about the 3D world. It was about getting people to go out and conquer territory, to go out and march,” explained Synder.
“Whereas, I think Fascism 2.0 is not about that. It’s about getting us angry at the enemy, but not really doing anything about it.[color]”
“Fascism is not so much about any particular idea as it is about the fundamental axioms that emotion and will are more important than reason and ideas,” Snyder told Observer.
The son-in law of President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner is the owner of The New York Observer and transferred his ownership into a family trust when he became an adviser to the President. At present, Kushner’s brother-in-law Joseph Meyer serves as publisher of Observer Media, which is the outlet’s parent company. Regarding New York Observer’s editorial voice, in 2014 the NY Times interviewed Jared Kushner where he stated “We stand for common sense, what’s great for New York. We’re pro-business and anti-entitlements.”

"fascism" has a definition as a political and social ideology, many on the left and right toss it around as a pejorative or as a 'counter'
fascism will come to the so-called USA as a progressive-populist wrapped in an American flag carrying a bible and cross

No, not really
Every robber or oppressor in history has wrapped himself in a cloak of patriotism or religion, or both. I am not a patriot as defined in the lexicon of the house of Morgan. I’d not murder my fellow men of my own accord, and why should I do it at the behest of the master class?
No wonder Jackson said that “Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels.” He had the Wall Street gentry in mind or their prototypes, at least; for in every age it has been the tyrant, who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both.

Sorry, it's already here: America today is the Fourth Reich of the Rich.
“That’s what fascists always dreamed of being able to do… they were trying to use language to get at people’s sense of friend and enemy to arouse anxiety and elation.”

don't you find that this could serve as a cautionary tale to many on the left as much as it does to the right?

I see the usual suspects are here,but don't you find that this could serve as a cautionary tale to many on the left as much as it does to the right? Oh, I know, I know... ANTIFA is anti-fascist, says so right in the acronym, must be true.
But if all the modern definition needs is anger, there's plenty of that all around!
I'm a fascist; you're one too! Ops, everybody angry ... I think maybe this Op-ed person should stop trying so hard he might hurt himself.

because it doesn't exist on the political scale/spectrum, a "fascist" is neither left nor right, but by definition a "radical authoritarian nationalist" with dictatorship powers

"fascism" is anti-liberalism, anti-communism and anti-conservatism, which is why the ideology has been adopted by the far/extreme right (on a political scale) but not inherently "rightist" or "leftist"
another reason why horseshoe theory is complete nonsense
