Get your nomenclature right. Fascism, by definition, has no right or left.

"Very harsh control or authority."

"A political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition."

Fascism | Definition of Fascism by Merriam-Webster

I like this one myself:

A form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion. [Robert O. Paxton, "The Anatomy of Fascism," 2004]

Right wing logic:

Fascist=bad
Libruls'=bad
Thus

Libs=Fascists.

I think I'll vote for the candidate that wants to double college tuition.

Chaos As SJW Students CRASH "Students For Trump" Meeting - Progressives Today

New Jersey guy flies a Trump "Make America Great Again" flag outside of his home near Monmouth University campus. Gets a ticket for illegally posting political signage more than 30 days before an election. The only problem is the NJ primary isn't until June 7. So far his flag has been ripped down 5 times. Intolerant people.

What's the difference between them and Sharia Law? Neither tolerate a difference of opinion.
Ug, I don't like Trump (I was open minded for about 5 minutes) but for goodness sake this is supposed to be America where you can root for and vote for who you want. I hate everybody now! lol!!

Again - going after someone for the use of a word. Have to be PC correct - I understood the OP's point even though the correct word wasn't used - but you can't think outside the box and realize the the OP used the wrong word to express herself - shame on you as most people are not politically correct - but the few that are continue to instigate.

Since you are so eager to simplify and stereotype, I challenge you to provide, (if it's within your capability) a definition of the categories conservative, liberal, traditionalist, libertarian and fascist; unless you can, you have no right to pontificate and sit in judgment.

And don't even think of using the undefinable buzzwords "right-wing" or "neocon" as an excuse.
