Vanilla Nationalism aligned with the conservative movement is not Fascism.  We used to have nationalist planks in both parties in this country, Harry Truman wasn't a Fascist, but you would call him one today.  Pursuing The nations interest BEFORE the interests of others isn't Fascism, it's common sense based on logic and reason.       

Trump isn't just pushing nationalism. He's going full "palingenetic populist ultra-nationalism" with a dash of violence on top for that extra-fascist touch. All we're missing in a paramilitary wearing gold "T" armbands.

They said that when fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. Those words could not be any truer.

They're not totally accurate in the case of Trump, though. He's lazy, so he just says "flag" and "cross" a lot. (Or at least similar things, as long as they don't have too many syllables.) It seems to be working for him, though.
