My understanding of fascism has evolved as I've grown older.
At first when I thought of fascism, I simply thought of a dictator. Though that is not necessarily always the case, I've come to view fascism being more of a political leader that subverts some established portion of government (in the case of the U.S., the executive subverting legislative or judicial).
Another common aspect of fascism that I've come to identify is fascism's use of nationality. I believe that the two are intrinsically tied together, and that you can not have a fascist leader without the use of nationalism as a catalyst to some degree.
Finally, I view fascism as disregarding the will of the minority political parties and only focusing on the agenda of the party in power.
