Meh. “Fascism”? That tactic is used in politics all the time against most prominent leaders and groups, no matter where they come from. They’re both inept and totally powerful and Machiavellian.
It’s the whole thing about “will bear them with humor and ridicule” but also “look at their evil actions”.

A fascist tactic that is used in politics all the time.
My point is that I don’t know what’s specifically “fascist” about it if virtually everyone uses it.
“Fascist” is an adjective. Like “green.”
A bad example: l don’t know what’s specifically green about it if virtually all plants look that way.
Everyone is using a fascist tactic. It doesn’t become a benevolent tactic because everyone uses it. It’s still fascist.
Edit: here is one of the better known essays on fascism, which might be of more use than my clumsy attempt https://www.openculture.com/2016/11/umberto-eco-makes-a-list-of-the-14-common-features-of-fascism.html. Humans have been rollicking around brutalizing each other since before we climbed down out of the trees, and using fascist tactics long before the Roman’s came up with the term.
