I.e., you can make a case that some of these folks may have this ideology/intention/plan, or that things are evolving in a Fascist direction somehow or other, BUT the abuse of power at home through such authoritarianism, has not reached typical Fascist-level extremes, when compared to Mussolini and Franco.

So what's holding them back, might be a good question to ask? I suppose we could speculate about a number of possible reasons.

How might people make for more reasons for quazi-fascists or neo-fascists, whatever label you want to give them, to hold themselves back, or get them out of positions of power?

That seems to me some practical ways to address this.
