Who is “they?”
Are “they” in this thread with us right now?
And while I don’t doubt that somebody somewhere does throw around the word “fascist” as a pejorative, it is generally used correctly when someone checks all the boxes. Right now, much of the US and a growing number around the globe, check all of the boxes.
You should go look at the literal definition of "fascism" again. I can admit it "checks some boxes", but not the most important ones.
