Alright, but dictatorship =/= fascism. Fascism is against an intitutionalised church (divides the power), though it tends to be favor of mysticism. The basic premise of fasism is a strong leader using "the will of the people" to legitimise his rule by using extreme nationalism and constant fear/warmongering, including the glorification of war and violence, the eternal renewal of the "nation" and to a lesser extend (as in Mussolini) the us-them divide by means of race, whatever that might imply. Fascists reject the values of the french revolution and attempt to build a stte based on the fundamental and eternal inequality between various groups of peoples, while rejecting class struggle in favor of transcendant corporatism in which each should simply accept their place.

It's more than just "not liking democracy".

Then there's also social democracy, which is what I am personally in favor off. Actively supporting people who would take your freedoms away will just empower another Trump if not someone worse.
