I don’t see the issue with calling those guys fascists, and therefore right wing dangerous extremists. They are all far right and therefore they sit on the right, opposite to my lefty ideas. Of course they have not implemented mass genocides yet but how many people died as a result of Trump violent are careless executive orders: immigrants at the border, droned Arab families, left-wing activists in protest, Black Americans victims of school shooting, Palestinians, … . For the rest they tick all the boxes : extreme conservatism to preserve a pristine order or culture that never existed, hatred for the minorities who endanger this natural imaginary state of society and at the same time hatred for a conspiratorial elite club (deep state/globalists/jewish bankers/…) that rules everything in the shadow, exaltation of capitalism, revering the employer class, shaming the unemployed, bowing to big capital and of course the affirmation (and enactment in the case of Trump) of violence as a necessary mean to solve the problems. Seems pretty close to fascism to me.
