America and the UK both have fascists. But a picture of some thugs doing a Nazi salute isn't enough to prove that they are a significant force in either country. Look on the internet long enough, and you will no doubt find pictures of Communists, radical Muslims calling for Sharia law, and who knows what else. Those groups aren't significant forces in the UK or US, either.

If you want to look at a place where fascism actually is a danger, look at present-day Ukraine. There, fascists are active members of the government, and serve as extra-legal enforcers of "justice." And yet, back in 2013-15, these groups were armed and encouraged by the very same groups who are most loudly decrying Trumpian "fascism" today. I don't know, does Obama's support of Ukrainian fascism make him a fascist?

Here's a recent article which asks the same question from an Israeli perspective:

In these precarious times, we all need to better develop our critical reasoning skills, so as to not be deceived yet again by our "leaders."
