Great post, though I am somewhat puzzled by the omission of self proclaimed "liberals" that somehow managed to infest much of the web. They are pretty much an exact replica of what we usually call fascists. It's likely that both groups are operated by the same forces.

America is a liberal nation. Almost every political philosophy has to rephrase itself in terms of liberty in order to get a foothold here.

Depending on the political context, you could be describing anyone from tankies[0] to ancaps to Black Lives Matter. The only commonality between them is that they all used Twitter at one point, a microblogging platform with a hilariously toxic userbase for the amount of attention the media gave it.

I shouldn't have to say this, but being toxic doesn't make you a fascist. Furthermore, political disagreements tend to be self-perpetuating in ways that look like coordination from far away.

[0] Who will insist they aren't liberals, but America doesn't use that definition of "liberal"
