This is the exact fascist playbook though. Technically, on paper, the third reich wasn’t a dictatorship either. Just that Hitler and his allies introduced and amended legislature to give him emergency powers, and basically declared a permanent state of emergency (very simplified).
Well as I said, I am not an expert on facism, and it would be ultracrepidarian of me to apply the label definitively when I do not know it well enough.
