9. Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy: trump's party was and is all for a civil war. TRUMP wants his minions to "fight for their country". No pacifism there. And remember that the Orange Buffoon wanted a Russian-style military parade every year.
11. Everybody is educated to become a hero: See above. Plus, there's the current and ongoing abortion process where many Red states are proposing that the populace informs on the transgressors (just like Hitler's Germany), the Florida "don't say gay" laws, etc. Where everybody is being "educated" to inform on everybody else and therefore become a hero.

I don; t think it's very productive. What I thinkis more productive is to campaign for better public health systems, and to stamp out the obvious lies and corruption in government between big pharma. It has been a hiuge money making racket, equal to false flag wars. Both parties are equally as culpable for the current state the USA is in.

Of course wealth alone isn't a useful metric. But wealth combined with another metric is much more helpful. Why am I focusing on "wealth"? Because wealthy countries tend to have better health care systems. Wealthy countries tend to have lots of people who work in offices. Wealthy countries tend to have diverse racial populations.
The perfect metric would be wealthy countries with a similar age profile with a similar vaccine hesitancy with a similar rate of obesity.

Here are the ones I'm not sure I can ascribe to our favorite dipshit:
1. The cult of tradition. "One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements. ".
9. Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. "For your-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle. ".
11. Everybody is educated to become a hero. "In your-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death. ".

How do these even get into the oval office?
Is it all rigged?
Wall street really loves the mindless puppets?
Ala.
#1 bubba.
#2 Barry Hussein.
#3 W 43.
#4 Biden.
#5 Bush 41.
#6 brain dead Ronnie.
My biggest electoral regret ever.
My vote for Bush over gore in 2000.

That is funny because there were a million cases a day in this country in January. So why are the cases numbers low now than then? Because the government is doing a 20 X better job now?
That is the thing you dumb Dems always do. You take on an issue like saying a government can cure a cold virus or set the climate or cure the opioid crisis, and Republicans are assholes for not caring about it. So you run around pointing a finger at us and say, "You do not care", and the solution is always the same, more government control, more spending, and higher taxes, and the results time after time are a disaster.
If you are so stupid as to think government is the answer with Covid, then the Biden administration has done a horrible job, and the numbers show that Biden did way worse than Trump. I do not see that government interventions did all that much with regards to Covid. If you think we got our money's worth spending $9 trillion on Covid, you are fucking nuts.

Since Italy was not listed in the graph but since you inferred that the US did worse than Italy, look here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ What it shows is that the US fared worse than Italy in terms of COVID death per capita.
So, in terms of "wealthy country with similar age profiles" to the US, the US did worse than these other, similar, countries.
And, FYI, my comparison was between wealthy countries with similar age profiles to the US, not simply the US compared to other wealthy countries. If you read what I wrote, you will see that I clearly stated that assertion multiple times.
But go ahead, believe what you want.
