Nazis are like conservatives? Really? Do tell. How are they? Is it because they were racists and all conservatives are racist?
I'm sorry that you feel that way, but no, that's not why.
It's because Nazism/fascism is a right-wing philosophy. Authoritarianism and blind nationalism are really the defining characteristics of both.
The Progressive era started much earlier? Well the most damage was done with Progs amended the Constitution to allow for a federal income tax and the creation of the Fed. That gave them all the power they needed to destroy Federalism.
You can try to call everything you don't like "progressive", but everyone will just laugh.
The icing on the cake was abandoning the gold standard. Now its all monopoly money as they throw money at every man, woman, and child on the planet to get their way.
AHHAHAHAHA! A gold bug kook! Oh my!
Authoritarianism? Conservatives believe in limited government, not an ever increasingly powerful centralized government that Dims embrace.
The US federal government is now to the point that it passes around 40,000 new regulations and laws every year. That my friend IS an authoritarian government, something conservatives oppose.
That's why Conservatives have failed in the U.S, the U.S Conservative approach is "Do nothing and everything will work out"
Yeah, good luck with that.
