Why Americans mostly don't understand what fascism actually is (hint: by the actual definition of the term, we were already fascist):
An unpleasant truth: we've been shadow-boxing the wrong bogeyman all along.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I equate fascism with Nazis, White Supremists and Anti-Immigration. They are anti-diversity, the browning of the American population and expew hate and racism.

Trump's rhetoric and behavior almost perfectly matches those of Benito Mussolini, the originator of the fascist movement.

Yeah I've always seen Mussolini as a better match than Hitler. Fascism was neither a 20th century nor a particularly a German or Italian creation; Mussolini simply gave it the modern name. It really has its origins in the 19th century, where it was, as it now is, reactionary to the success of secular liberalism, mostly related to the Enlightenment.
