It is all ideology. You are throwing mud by mixing definitions and ideologies where you choose and not. Yours is a cherry picked "leftist Facist" definition to fit what you want it to fit - namely Biden and the Democrats.
You are disregarding History, Political Science and sociology to create a Frankenstein ideology, one that fits yours and MAGAs needs. Now it is a Communist thing. Think about it, you have Right Wing Fascism being defined as left wing and thrown in with a McCarthyism witch hunt.
You seem to think that if you like a label it counts as a definition.
First, the whole Left-Wing/Right-Wing spectrum is commonly used by the Left to pretend there is a moral equivalency. Then there is the media problem, wherein newspapers, TV networks and nowadays internet sources push out propaganda and call it news.
If you want to understand how we got Trump v Clinton, Trump v Biden, and then Trump v Harris for our last three Presidential elections, you need to understand what Obama did to campaign advertising and issue posturing. That is, a lot of skilled and smart people hide their actual policies and instead throw out image that their people thing will win votes.
If you listen to Trump's interview in 2024 with Rogan for example, it wasn't all that impressive, but Harris fumbled the opportunity and let Trump gain with a key demographic. Same for that McDonald's stunt.
Now take that philosophy and revisit old routines about Fascism, Socialism and so on. Whoever the Republican nominee was for President, the Democrats would label him a Fascist since 1980. And while perhaps a bit more polite by the Republican, the Democrat candidate has always been flagged as a Socialist.
The words have lost their impact, if you think about it.
That is, it's more
Schroedinger than
Frankenstein in character.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
