Today it is clear we are living in a new normal. The current Senators, under the leadership of McConnell has demonstrated that one person can have a major impact on our form of government. There is no doubt that Authoritarianism is now, with no thanks to 51 Senators, a new form of governance, i.e. Trumpism.
IMO, Trumpism is akin to fascism, and a reader with an open mind and who has watched the behavior of Trump and McConnell will see much similarity to these 14 points:

Wow! You're describing the your Socialist party, not the Republican party.
Let's cite a few "Nationalists," as that was one on your list: Gandhi, was a Nationalist, Mao Zedong, was a Nationalist, Hitler (of the National Socialist German Workers Party), was a Nationalist and racist. Fidel Castro, was a Nationalist, FDR, was a Nationalist...….the list goes on.
Identifying enemies as a unifying cause: The National SOCIALIST German Workers Party (Nazi's), identified Jews as the enemy and inferior. The Marxist-Leninist SOCIALIST nations, including the Soviet Union, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba and the "Democratic" Peoples Republic of North Korea identify any Capitalist nations as either adversaries or enemies of their world domination goals. Your Socialist brothers and sisters are no different. You identify heterosexual white males as the enemy (identifying an enemy for unification).
Rampant Sexism: Fascism (a state run socialist government) came about under Mussolini, an era when sexism existed pretty much across the globe. Men tended to dominate women in most nations, still very much do in Islamic nations. Here in the U.S., there is NO glass ceiling for women, if they are willing to work hard towards their goals and put in long hours, as males do and the only reason we don't have a female president yet, is that we haven't had a good enough one in the running. If and when Candace Owens runs for the office in 2024, she's definitely got my vote.
Religion and Government go hand in hand: Mussolini's Fascist (SOCIALIST) government was in Italy and the Catholic church was extremely influential in Italy, as most Italians were Catholic. In Nazi Germany (again, a SOCIALIST nation) however, the church had no significant sway over the government. In the USA, whether you are talking about Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, or Buddhists, they vote and some vote for so-called Democrats and others vote Republican. I suspect that the churches encourage their followers to go with Republicans, as it was the Republicans that gave them the tax break.
Labor power suppressed: In SOCIALIST nations, if you aren't at work, your local handler will check on you and you had better actually be sick, attending some funeral, or dead, otherwise it's "back to work." They expect you to be working to support the SOCIALIST agenda, or else you're a slacker and will be addressed accordingly. In the US, you simply call in and claim to be sick, if you decide to play hooky for a day or two. As so pay gaps between the rich and poor, well, if you happen to think that some company isn't paying you enough, you simply quit and apply at a company that better fits your needs (and hint, your needs aren't having the same income as the head of the company, because, you're not the head of the company.
Obsession with crime and punishment: If you don't think that your city, county or, state, should obsess with law enforcement, the next time your home is burglarized, your personally robbed or beaten, or your car stolen or broken into, don't call the cops. They won't obsess over your problem if you don't call them.. And, if you object to prices going up in retail stores, well, those increases are because of your pesky criminals shoplifting and the stores raising prices to cover the cost of stolen items and if they didn't they'd eventually go out of business, then you could make your own products.
