I don't disagree that silencing protest is bad. It's just not fascism. Fascists kill dissenters.

Treating protestors like this is the norm (though it always must be fought). It's how they were treated during Occupy Wall Street. It's how they were treated during Vietnam and the civil rights fight. Authoritarianism can come from both the left and the right. Fascism is always from the right.

Fascists kill dissenters.

Not in the beginning. In the beginning it's more about the economic side of fascism. And that has definitely happened in the US. For decades now.
