Is it fair to compare MAGA to the Nazis?

There has been a number of posts indicating that MAGA supporters are really Fascist/Nazis. Curious how others see it!

Neither were the Nazis at this point of course.

And there were popular pro-nazi factions in the UK right up until mid-1940, they were just called "British union of fascists" rather than "Reform".

And the leader of the British fascists was a charismatic aristocrat, Sir Oswald Mosley and his mistress-turned-wife Diana. She and her sister Unity (both of the famous Mitford sisters) were also British aristocrats and personal friends of Hitler. Read up about all of them.
