Leaving aside the fact that fascism is almost exclusively a far-right philosophy that exalts the nation over the individual and minorities, and is exemplified by autocracy and dictatorship, his charge is a signal that his campaign for re-election will be another torrent of divisiveness.
Trump and most of his supporters, and Republican candidates in general, are fully aware that their support mostly comes from what we might charitably call a remnant “Silent Majority” that is white, older, male, and fearful that their political and cultural power is threatened by the demographic shift toward people of color and generally more liberal youth. A blitz of propaganda from the right that couches the conflation of “cancel culture,” Confederate statue removal, and those Trump called “the radical left, the Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters” will seek to drive Republican turnout.
The philosopher Susan Neiman herself has admitted that her own understanding of terror and suppression waged against Black Americans after the Civil War was sadly incomplete until recently, and that many Americans are ignorant of its cause. She has written about our own lack of knowledge in her book “Learning from the Germans” in which she compares the proactive actions Germany has taken to confront, atone for, and make at least partial restitution for the horror of the Holocaust, with our spotty record of education and understanding of our history.
Confronting the need to remove these statues from places of honor should also force us to confront our long history of racism and suppression of Black and native peoples, and reflect on the best way to educate ourselves in the full, proud, but frequently flawed history of the USA.

understandable with the lies being taught in our schools and spoken on the MSM,,,
our founders worked on a scale that put total government on the left and no government on the right, first they tried the articles of confederation that was close to anarchy and when that didnt work they came back and wrote the constitution after studying all the former governments they could,,,
its all in the federalist papers,,,
“Definition of fascism - a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition“

Given what has to be the simplest understanding of the term, pretty difficult to see how that defines left wing liberalism
He’s Highly unlikely to find anything:
Robert Paxton, a professor emeritus of social science at Columbia University in New York who is widely considered the father of fascism studies, defined fascism as "a form of political practice distinctive to the 20th century that arouses popular enthusiasm by sophisticated propaganda techniques for an anti-liberal, anti-socialist, violently exclusionary, expansionist nationalist agenda."
