Bachelors in political science and you don't even know what a fascist is. Where the fuck did you go to school?
I know how much people enjoy calling people they don't like Hitler, but being a racist and a strong nationalist doesn't make you a fascist. Hitler would have viewed Trump with contempt as a disgusting materialistic capitalist and likely in cahoots with pesky Jew Bolsheviks. Don't forget Hitler and his government ultimately wanted to build a welfare state, with universal healthcare, pensions, massive public works projects, land reform, aid for the impoverished, and cultural engineering designed to promote cohesion, compassion, and sympathy between "true Germans". The extent of Hitler's appreciation for free market economics was his respect for social Darwinism. Beyond that, private enterprise was wholly subservient to the interests of the German state if it was deemed 'parasitic' instead of 'productive'.
A real Fascist or Nazi candidate would be if you mixed Bernie Sanders and Trump, and you got someone who was more socialist than Bernie Sanders, and more ethnocentric/white-nationalist than Trump. And also wanted to murder all the Mexicans and then conquer Mexico.
It's also hilarious that conservatives have become so fucking conservative that Trump is viewed as 'left-wing'. Yes, he is much further to the left than conservatives are now, but at this point so is Ronald Reagan for fuck's sake.

Wow. You're an angry old guy, aren't you?
Let me fill you in on a few points and maybe you can understand them?
It doesn't matter if Hitler would've looked down upon Trump. That is a pretty stupid argument as a matter of fact. Hitler looked down even on other NAZI party members. He had some of them murdered. Of course, history isn't your strong suit, so how would you have known?
Your third paragraph is simply incoherent. If I didn't know better you've had a few Tom Collins too many, or whatever your favorite drink you imbibe in.
Your last paragraph is absolutely laughable. Coming from a socialist, who wrongly thinks Germany is a socialist state to be admired, you can't discern conservative principles in any other way, since they are all so far removed to the right of you. I mean, gosh, it could very well be that Trump is a leftist to your right and he would certainly look like a Reagan from where you sit.
Did you have anything else you wanted to share?
