Not entirely. I read the thoughts of some experts on the matter and agreed with their reasoning. Interestingly, though, I hadn't seen the third article in the series that was put up on Vox in January after the attempted insurrection. Apparently, that event pushed some of those experts over the line: https://www.vox.com/22225472/fascism-definition-trump-fascist-examples
Yes, for anyone sneering at Vox, it is what it is. But, it's actually a good discussion that started with these experts in 2015, was picked up in 2020, and then against in January, 2021.
