The biggest difference between Classic Coke Fascism and New Coke Fascism is the willingness to own the name, but that's a result of history not a real difference in  their worldview.

About the best we can hope for from them is that they are more the Duce's fascists than the Fuhrer's.

Otoh, Hitler never had nukes.
