Is conservatism fascism in the West? (hexbear.net)

It seems to me that conservatism is just fascism with a friendlier face or a type of proto-fascism.

Its easily a proto-fascism since when the conditions are right for the bourgeois they'll throw everything in with the fascists, just like their counterpart the libs, and when its not they'll cling to their illusory thin strands of 'muh traditions'' this and that and pretend they're not when really they are. The US served as a lot of inspiration for the nazis' genocidal campaigns and probably structuring for their arms industry leading up to ww2 as well.
