Sorry old man. Here's where fascism started and it wasn't democrats.
Fascism is a far-right, ultranationalist political ideology characterized by a dictatorial leader, a centralized autocratic government, militarism, the forcible suppression of opposition, a belief in social hierarchy, and the subordination of individual interests to the state or a perceived national/racial group. It emerged in early 20th-century Europe as a rejection of liberalism, democracy, pluralism, and socialism, instead promoting a collective identity and the all-encompassing power of the state.
