No they are not. You just want it to seem that way.
They are clearing up 4 years of democrat importing criminals from all over the world.

Some 'Republicans against Trump' snippets:

Trump is about to fire a U.S. attorney because he couldn’t fabricate charges against Letitia James. Pure corruption.
Trump: "As you know, we’re taking in trillions of dollars from the tariffs. It keeps our companies happy and sane. They’re so thrilled. Actually, they can’t even believe it."

No it's not. You're just parroting democrats language.
They and you jave nothing left to argue with.
Trump has virtually eliminated illegal migration in the southern border, capturing all the illegals letting under Biden/Harris. Sorting better(for the USA) trade deals with other countries.
Stopped several conflicts around the world.
Got EU to pay its share on defence.
Made Washington DC safe

Fascism: "A populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition"
Sounds rather like Trump to me. Fascism is fascism, it does not have to have a body count attached to be so. Comparisons with other fascist regimes and their leaders is perfectly apt IMO. The reason the Nazis were allowed to murder 6 million people was because the world stood back and watched and their own citizens were complicit. You cannot appease or reason with fascists, you have to take them on head first.

The odious Ted Cruz turns against Trump:
[In response to the Kimmel gagging order]
“dangerous as hell”
“That’s right out of Goodfellas,” Cruz said Friday morning on his podcast. “That’s right out of a mafioso coming into a bar, going, ‘Nice bar you have here. It’d be a shame if something happened to it.’”
“I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said,” Cruz said. “I am thrilled that he was fired. But let me tell you, if the government gets in the business of saying, ‘We don’t like what you the media have said, we’re going to ban you from the airwaves if you don’t say what we liked’ — that will end up bad for conservatives.
Steve Bannon says something insidious on his instagram page:
Steve Bannon recently emphasized a “maximalist strategy” to seize institutions with urgency, declaring, “We’re in charge now.” He celebrated the removal of Jimmy Kimmel from the air and called for Stephen Colbert’s immediate dismissal, urging CBS to pay out his contract. Bannon criticized the staff and writers of these shows, labeling their work as “evil” and expressing no remorse for their job losses. He stated, “The days of you guys being in charge are over,” and emphasized the need to prevent any reversal of their actions, even in the event of future elections. Bannon’s comments reflect ongoing tensions and a push for significant changes within media and political institutions.

I don't think there is any doubt about whether or not the Trump administration are behaving like fascists.
What surprises me is that you/I/we feel the need to spell it out clearly as others attempt to downplay or dismiss.

No, that's correct.
The similarities between Germany 1933-35 and USA now are eerie.
Read a history book and the Dems have f*ck all to do with this. They haven't been importing criminals. See the figures that I posted earlier which, it seems, you ignored as they don't suit your narrative. This mess is on your side of politics, no-one else to blame.
Even Tucker Carlson is speaking out against this.

Oh, come on. Just own it.
You know you'll have to eventually - so why not just do it now, so you can happily goose-step off into the sunset.
Or drive off in one of your fleet of SwastiKars.

I got as far as para 3
"Whatever the historical merit of this self-congratulation..."
before my irony meter blew a gasket.

Oh FFS! Get your head away from X will you?
I posted official figures about migration across the southern border and they showed a 77% fall, when Biden was in charge. Your figure of a 95% fall in 3 months doesn't exist.
He did not stop several conflicts. The leaders of those countries sorted the conflicts out and Trump decided to take the credit for doing the grand sum of f*ck all. He tried to take credit for stopping Thailand, Cambodia and Indian, Pakistan yet the leaders of those countries said that Trump had nothing to do with it.
The EU were going to increase defence spending anyway in light of threats posed by Trump's boss, Putin.
And crime figures in DC were way down before he called out the National Guard. All they did was clean up rubbish as there was nothing for them to do.

I've not read it but regarding the "85 pages" maybe if you're an expensive lawyer then 3 pages doesn't earn you enough for your fast cars, fast living, etc. whereas 85 pages justifies $$$$$$$$$$$
But counter to that, if you're a smart lawyer you'll know Trump doesn't pay bills anyway so why spend days writing 85 pages for free?

I was going to post something about the complaint reading better in Comic Sans until I realized this is anything but Comic.
It's also not just a PR stunt.
It's the action of an administration in thrall to a megalomaniac.

It's the denial (which I do understand to a degree). People want to believe that there is no way fascism could spread in the same way again. I think that's why people always use the Nazi defence i.e. things will never be as bad as the Holocaust so don't worry about it and don't make comparisons to it. As we have said though, fascism takes many forms, a regime does not have to murder people to be a fascist one.
