The word "fascist" has truly lost its meaning. Please stop using this word if you don't understand the historical context behind it.
They are using not just the same rhetorical frames as the Nazis, they are often using the same exact phrases and propaganda techniques, just in social media. They are seeking/achieving autocratic rule. I don't think they are winning the world on the whole, but they are growing stronger.. They are fascist movements.
