Forget the brown shirts and the Hort Vesel Lied, and the other paraphernalia.
Just compare. A nationalist, confronted with hordes of invading Muslims may run for Chancellor on a platform of forcibly repatriating all Muslims who riot, rape, rob or assault citizens, but leave alone those living peaceably. A more severe nationalist would do this even to a third-generation German-born Muslim.
A Hitlerite nationalist will want to evict all Muslims, and summarily kill all those who resist or are rejected by their original country. A more severe Hitlerite nationalist will want to kill them all wholesale. Perhaps not in a concentration camp right away or ever, but it took a couple of years before the original Nazis evolved the idea of concentration camps with showers and ovens. They tried several other methods first.
Now, with regard to Americans returning to slavery, it’s obvious you haven’t read Eric Hoffer. There were no frustrated masses of people, looking for a way to be free from their ruined lives, and then a charismatic leader came and got them all hot to trot for slavery. It was an already ancient institution that found its way to the New World as a matter of course, and evolved and festered there until the industrial revolution, when after a bitter civil war it was finally abolished, and the man who did the abolishing shot dead for his troubles. Not at all the same thing at all as Nazism, or Communism, or even Fulon Gong or Rock n Roll. I repeat. Read Eric Hoffer.

The German people suffered terribly during WWII. The death and destruction were enormous. You should understand the Never Again mentality. For the Germans, they are sick of war. They have become essentially pacifists. They spend less and less on defense, not meeting the NATO obligation. They refused to fight in Afghanistan specifying only a non-combat role.

Wrong, we have a huge and growing underclass that lives in poverty and is dependent upon government. They are frustrated and angry, e.g., black lives matter. Wages for most Americans have not increased in 15 years. We are being flooded by immigrants who take American jobs and depress wages. We have 46 million on food stamps and 80 million on Medicaid. The gap between rich and poor is increasing and the middle class is being destroyed. We are being Balkanized along racial, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic lines. We have a $20 trillion national debt. America is the largest debtor nation in the world.
There is fertile ground for civil discord and social strife. A man on horseback could take power and destroy our Constitution. Black Lives Matter and riots like we have seen in Ferguson and Baltimore show that our cities are tinder boxes ready to explode. Over 3,000 people have been shot in Chicago this year alone.
