I think many left-wingers are just getting very desperate. Reality is sinking in that there will be a very conservative freedom-loving President until January 20th, 2021 at the very least.
Very strange how tax cuts and less regulation are now constituting a fascist agenda according a certain segment of liberals.
All that President Trump has ever proposed is to protect America from terrorism, letting people keep more of their own as opposed to politicians and cut red-tape.
The liberals make no sense, since when is giving more freedom and letting them keep their own money resemble a fascist regime?
That's great Trump wants to cut taxes, but why cut taxes for the 1%.
I don't agree with the left [or the right for that matter] but this woman explain very clearly why she feels trump is fascist. https://youtu.be/3-bEnTWqvC0?t=255

Trump is thought of as similar to a Nazi because he trades on xenophobia, not because of his economic agenda, which is straight out of the establishment Republican playbook of his donors.
Most Republicans are nothing like fascists, but fascism thrives in right-wing thinking. Back when I was young, Republicans ranged from liberal to conservative. Conservatism had never been a litmus test for Republicans until recent times. Since the southern Democrats crossed over to the Republican party (due to Nixon's southern strategy and Reagan after him) the conservative wing has been dominant and has been purging out their more liberal members. The process has been going on for decades, so now we have people claiming others in their party are RINO's because they are not conservative enough, although that was not the case in previous generations.
The Republican party is all about business and big money, one does not have to be a social conservative to enjoy the support of, and to protect the wealthy and global corporations. All they care about is their money. That's what the party is all about.
Now we have a president, the standard bearer of the Republican party, who 'dog whistles' xenophobia, prejudice and hate. Fascists thrive in such a political climate (hate crimes have spiked in the past year). As people engage in this kind of rhetoric they absorb a lot of the spirit of fascism perhaps even without realizing it, as evidenced by re-tweeting quotes and memes from fascist personalities or groups without knowing the origin, then being called out on it (someone did that).

I don't like socialism or facism, I like capitalism. But what does any of this have to do with Trump supporters being called nazis?
