Those seem to chime with the more formal Nolan Principles of Public Life in the UK - which American nazis and Trumpsters are incapable of recognising.
Selflessness; Integrity; Objectivity; Accountability; Openness; Honesty; Leadership.

The Seven Principles of Public Life (also known as the Nolan Principles) apply to anyone who works as a public office-holder. This includes all those who are elected or appointed to public office, nationally and locally, and all people appointed to work in the Civil Service, local government, the police, courts and probation services, non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs), and in the health, education, social and care services. All public office-holders are both servants of the public and stewards of public resources. The principles also apply to all those in other sectors delivering public services.

If you click through and read the note against each one, it is clear the GOP and Trump have already broken them all.

Just because we’d watched the whole Man in the High Castle series recently, my mind went here.

And here.

While it would be premature to commit ourselves to a definitive position on this matter, or even whether it is a matter upon which a position is required, a committee is being convened to consider the possibility of a decision, in the fullness of time, as to whether that may, or may not, be the case. Its remit has yet to be fully defined, however.

The Trump EO that defines trans people out of existence isn’t just seeding fetal personhood for the sake of abortion access fights.

It’s the start of legally making gendering (and thus personhood) contingent on, well, fertility.

That’s why the GC and fascist movements are so easily wed. Eugenics.

We’re looking at a codification of nationalist logics, of humanity only being extended to those whom the state deems as having reproductive utility. The cultural attitude of heterosexuality and parenthood as the truest measures of “being invested in our future”, elevated and enshrined as law.

If you’re not connecting this to how The Nation conceptualizes The Family, if you’re not seeing why regulating sex through the lens of a heterosexual mandate and compulsory reproduction is the bedrock of fascism, if don’t see how this ties into racialized replacement panics, you’re missing a lot.

Like, sure, say the word “Intersectionality” five times daily, but have you applied it?

Can you see where these discourses intersect, or the conservative mindset that gives rise to them?

Do you understand why trans people are being morally mandated out of existence, by this “sane” world?

Do you see how they’re planning on regulating your life and your freedom, once my sisters and I are buried underfoot, dear reader?
