Is it still fascism if they were properly elected and a court agreed with them?

Yes. That's pretty much how it works for fascism. The government uses powers meant for a legitimate purpose to instead intimidate people and the mechanisms of government meant to restrain such abuse fail or are taken over entirely. Have you ever studied history?

If its this court, then probably yes. They have special treatment of Trump.

The most famous example of fascism was democratically elected.
