In Hitler’s Germany, political and economic fascism was welcomed by the big money corporate interests that were afraid of the power of the trade union movement. German fascism (Nazism) spawned thuggery, street fighting (the infamous Brownshirts and SA) and routinely disrupted, by intimidating and shouting down their anti-fascist opponents, any attempt at open-minded public discourse. Election fraud was rampant and there was an obsession with national security issues.
Two good places to start learning the forgotten history of fascism are with Dr. Laurence Britt’s 14 points of fascism found at here and with more at Wikipedia.
If anyone can read the above and not recognize all of the Emphasized words as events that have actually happened right here in Amerika over the past 8 years (or even 8 days!) and that it was Republicans or Republican operatives that were committing these acts, then you either don't want to admit it to yourself or are one of the fascists of which it describes!
So, if anyone wants to criticize me for bantering about the 'F' word, I refer you to Wikipedia... and your favorite news outlet.
