Do you think a lot of people who identify as Liberals fit this description?

@Vin53 Mainstream Conservatives (who make up most of America) do not worship anyone. We are the most independent thinkers on the planet. In times of crisis, liberals circle the wagons and conservatives circle the firing squad. TRump was clearly one of the best presidents of all time, but there is a certain legion of conservatives who will never accept him, his language, his ego, his checkered past. Liberals on the other hand will goose step to criminals like Obama and Biden all day long.
@Reason10 Hitler never was a "Socialist" of any sort.
Fascism is dictatorship by one megalomaniac, and not too different to oligarchy, plutocracy or military junta - all of which remove the rights of citizens and are on the far right. Have a look at how the Burmese junta controls it people and practices racial purging of all minorities. Look at Pol Pot, Mugabe, Tito and all the other dictators of history.
(Leftism is about the community pulling together so that those who have advantage freely help those who are disadvantaged to enable them to become independent and able to contribute to the whole. Or for those who can't, like the extremely disabled or the very aged, to provide them with the best care possible.
Conservatives believe this is the role of family or charity - but many people have no family and charities insufficient and keep people dependent.
Democratic socialism is closer to the middle of the political spectrum. It has no interest in usurping or undermining democratic rights.)

@hartfire
It's called NATIONAL SOCIALISM. (Socialism means government control of the means of production. Find someone with an education to explain that to you. Frankly, I don't have the time.)
Hitler was far left, same as Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Castro, Obama and Biden.
All goose steppers, all extremists, all the WORST of humanity.
