This is a great example of why the ever-shifting definition of fascism (as it's used in popular parlance) is so bad. You could get two completely contradictory answers to your question that are both correct depending on what "fascism" means to that person. Advocating violence against such an ill-defined group is dangerous, and if I believed there was such a thing as "evil" I would call it evil. To be clear I'm not implying that you are personally calling for violence, just speaking generally.
People have very differing and fluid definitions of fascism.

No, Fascism has an actual definition. What the current US regime is doing certainly shares a lot of those characteristics.

People who make violent threats to their political opponents in a democracy should be dealt with violently by the state.
Fascists aren't "political opponents in a democracy", anymore than a burglar is a guest in your home just because they are located in your home.
So should communists.

You must be joking... So if someone spread racist ideas, is not racism?

Fascism is implemented at the governmental level; racism can be implemented at the personal level. Fascism is a system; racism is an emotion.
