Divorce yourself from the "Fascists == nazis" mindset. That is simply not true. Nazis WERE fascists, but not all fascists are or were nazis.
The defining characteristic of a fascist government model, is one where corporate power and government power are one and the same. In this definition, "Corporate" is more the "Bodies corporate" definition; corporate trade groups that represent the interests of tradesmen and industry.
Things like the RIAA and pals.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CorporatismTo accomplish this, corporate power is consolidated into the hands of a dictator, or other authoritarian regime, which then directly controls both government and industry. Unlike Communism, which seeks to redistribute wealth, Fascism makes no such effort, and has no such tenet. It instead DOES seek profit, and operates under the principle that what is good for the government and industry, is good for the nation as a whole, and thus good for its citizens as well. As such, it has no qualms at all about using military might to seize assets it finds valuable or desirable. Since corporate power and government power are one in the same, what industry wants, is what industry gets. Fascist regimes almost always employ hyper-nationalistic fervor to make the rank and file population obedient and pliant to the desires and actions of the state and its industrial might. The nazi party went so far as to attempt to create a mythical/magical basis for its rule, enshrining the citizenry of Germany as literal demigods, along with powerful nationalistic slogans and propaganda.
US corporations are very much fascist in construction; While there is a board of directors that is elected by share holders, the majority stake holders are the real power. Often, those people are also the CEO, CIO, CFO, and pals. Since modern corporations differ significantly from the bodies corporate type corporations of the past, the proper term is "neofascist". Nobody within an organization tells the CEO he cannot do something without there being reprocussions, excepting perhaps, the legal department. Corporations run very much like a fascist regime, where the growth and profit of the company is seen as beneficial for all members of the company, from CEO to schlum worker in the basement. As such, the growth, expansion, and might of the company are seen as the single paramount thing to fixate on, and the CEO has nearly unlimited power within his corporation.
Given that corporations, and in particular, their lobbyists, have a revolving door with important positions of power within the US government, and that most modern legislation is just the government rubberstamping what industry wants (See TPP and pals), the US has taken on a distinctly fascist aftertaste. Hence my referring to it as "Fascist Lite". This is NOT HELPED AT ALL by the "My Country: Love it or leave it!" types, who's nationalism and semi-religious dogma (discussed earlier) are at extremes rivaling that of the Nazi party.
Donald Trump lives in the world of the CEO. He's poised to attempt claiming the presidency. DO NOT ELECT HIM. He would attempt to run the US government like it was a modern US corporation, with him as the CEO. The US would become distinctly neofascist under that kind of regime, and what industry wants, industry would get. Even more than it does now.
The NeoCons of the current US politic are very much in line with many of the definitions used by various political thinkers for Fascism.
Seriously, read these, then think critically about the US government.
