      There's an argument to be made about the other 5 points being present too, but not prevalent/fully widespread

        yeah you are right about that, but the thing with the Eco 14 points of fascism is that if the country in question has some of the points then its already light/Quasi fascism

        The other 5 are absolutely present. The Republican base is absolutely already showing all 14. Even the Newspeak textbooks is being done in places like Texas and Alabama.

        I'd even argue that since 9/11, "pacifism bus weakness" has become one of the driving mottos of US domestic policy. Expansion of the police state, glorification of military, etc.
