This is a very serious question because fascism is a little bit different than just the difference between conservatism and liberalism.

Well said, though I think Trump better described as "authoritarian populist."  

One thing that makes fascists so dangerous is the dedication to a cause outside themselves, and their willingness to sacrifice their lives for it, be remembered as martyrs to the nation. 

Trump doesn't check that box. 

Anyway, I think your post re-focuses the question to a more interesting place--namely how we define "tolerance." Americans are generally tolerant and don't think much about exceptions to tolerance, though most everyone appears to grant them.
