2. Yes, they think Nazis were "far left" because of the "Socialist" in their name. It is true they were fiscally liberal, but maga conveniently forgets that the key point of fascism is the totalitarianism. There are totalitarians of the "left" and the "right". They only see totalitarianism on the left. When the right crushes rights of non-whites and non-cis-males, they see it as natural and are blind to how it breaks the rule of law and is the tyranny they warned everyone about for decades.
Technically, fascism is the forced alignment of corporate functioning with national government interests. This is what we see now, with law firms, media companies, chip companies, etc. capitulating to tRump's pressure.
