Are Americans really so right-wing nowadays that fascists and anti-fascists are equivalent?

I'm really confused. I mean, I know that the Cold War had a major impact on American politics, shifting it to the right slowly as the fear/hatred of communism took hold in a big way throughout the 1950s and 1960s. It's just hard to imagine that someone like Obama would be considered "socialist" or "communist" when in most of the world he'd be a regular conservative. And now they seem to defend fascists, the thing their grandparents fought an entire war against and witnessed the horrors of first hand.

WTF, America?

Left-wingers in America do not tolerate dissent and use fascist tactics against those who oppose them (Antifa).

@JenniferB Oh no, a bunch of douchebags too scared to hold their little rally - that like it or not, was directly linked to Charlottesville. We're all terribly sad about that, really.

And it had nothing to do with fears of violence either. Cops were prepared. It was the Boston spectacle that did it. All of these rallies were cancelled - 67 in all.
