Do you think fascism appears instantly, fully formed? Or could it grow through legal political action until such time that it can do away with them?

You just collapsed your own wave-function right in front of us all. I pray it goes back into superposition for you and gives you a chance to try again.

Let's say a third party was elected and started implementing certain policies. What would they have to do for you to call them fascist? Fascism is an actual thing, after all, so there must be some line that would separate fascism from not-fascism.
