I've had those arguments and buried them in facts, links, references..... Until they just give up and disappear. American fascism is different than the wide open style the Nazis engaged in but it's there. Look at how easily people buy into the lies Trump spews. Even when one of his flunkies slips and refers to his statements "alternative facts", they dismiss and continue to deny. Trump himself said that it doesn't matter what he says or does, "...I could shoot somebody in Times Square and they'd still vote for me.".
I still think that at the root of it all is the belief that Democracy is bad, "Businessmen" have all the answers and that possession of wealth automatically equates to intelligence and righteousness. "So just shut up, do your job and everything with be fine.". If you think things are interesting now, wait until those birds come home to roost.
