They are currently correct. Such hesitation, however, is on less sure footing for those who prognosticate that the executive will attempt to construct a regime claiming the right to unchecked, continuing power. Substantial continuation of constitutional and democratic norms, which they assume, is far from guaranteed. I will explain why the Trump presidency already displays characteristics that render reasonably possible its morphing into a regime appropriately characterized as fascist or, at least, quasi-fascist.
