Fascism describes the states formed from the deformation of bourgeois democracies into an explicit dictatorship of a faction of the bourgeoisie. McConnell is interested in protecting the bourgeois democracy in the face of fascistic tendencies of Trump post-election.
Someone interested in preserving the bourgeois democracy would be feigning humanitarianism right now. He's driving it into the ground at full speed and stripping any notion of the system being for the people. He's an accelerationist at best.
I'm using the generally accepted definition of fascism

He is defending the institutions which provide the bourgeoisie democratic rights. He is a bourgeois democrat, not a fascist.
"Bourgeois democracy" describes a type of capitalist state. "Accelerationist", "Humanitarianism", etc do not.
Again, America's bourgeois democracy was the largest slave state in human history, not very "humanitarian"...
