Fascist is perhaps too general. The Nazis or fascist of our time have a particular partnership with the fundie right and their fellow travellers the KKK have always been a conservative christian terrorist organization. "Christo" for the religious wing and "fascist" which describes the ideological and political heart of what that fn Pig Trump has called out from under their rocks.

These extremists have always been with us and we began the path to where we are now with the Reagan admin.

Tax protesters
Militias/survivalists
White Nationalists Neo-Nazis (skinheads, Aryan brotherhood, Posse Commitatus, christian identity mentioned in the OP etc.)
Dominionists/Reconstructionists
Birchers
3 iterations of the Klan, (Original post civil war, 2nd Klan that rose to power in the 20s, and the modern Klan)
QAnon
Patriot Movement
Proud Boys
3 percenters
Neo-confederates
Nativists (know nothings Minute Men etc.)
Army of God

Their base and enablers 20 to 30 of the US adult population:

GOP
"Libertarians"
Fundamentalist/Evangelical Christians
