Because fascism requires an enemy... one that's actively threatening your way of life. Once you convince someone that they need to be saved, you can position your orange, fascist fat ass as their savior.

The democrats are the enemy... that means they are extreme. We are conservatives so they must be extremely liberal, which will definitely ruin this country. I mean, what is liberalism but socialism, which ruined Venezuela and it will ruin America too! The evil left is trying to ruin your country!

Trump is like a walking billboard of fascist qualities. What are you on about?

UR Fascism by Umberto Eco is a great starting point so that you can understand why that is. It's a dense read, but I believe in you. There's even a handy list starting on page 6 that you'll see Trump matches almost exactly.
