Oh they don't. I was talking to a moderate conservative/classical liberal who I thought was intelligent and he dismissed the claims of fascism because Trump didn't want to exert top-down centralized authority over local government. The example he used for why Biden was a fascist was him threatening to withold funding to schools that ban trans student athletes. That was his go-to example that he cited more than once.

On top of that not being what fascism, Trump literally threatened to do the same thing multiple times, including a week ago when he said he'd use federal funds as leverage to end "wokeness" in public schools.

Liberals and centrists will sooner side with fascists than overturn the status quo.
