America was founded on a very peculiar idea: "all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights." That phrase is very important. It means that rights are not merely social constructions that the government or indeed that anyone can legislate in or out of existence. They're part of your nature as a human being. The other part of that statement is that you cannot put one person above the other. It does not mean equal outcomes for everyone. It means there is one yardstick for the whole of humankind, irrespective of your wealth, social standing, gender, sexual orientation, etc. America was also founded on the principle of a small government because the purpose of government is to secure the aforementioned individual rights, not to engage in social experiments on behalf of the benevolent vision of a small group of people within society.
Individual libery, in other words, is the first of the core American values.
Donald Trump clearly believes individual rights and liberties are sacred values in a way that almost all of his critiques do not. His most radical critiques are in fact intellectually closer to Europeans than to the Founding Fathers of the United States.
You have the world upside down. Trump has neither inspired nor supported fascists, though he has condemned them. On the other hand, leftists have been encouraging minorities to see themselves as hopeless victims to push their agenda and that certainly has created division in the United States, just as much as elsewhere.
The best way to discriminate on a massive scale is to use regulations, courts, and bureaucrats. If you back up free markets, though discrimination remains possible, you have no way to make sure white people end up on top. There might rise dissenting business managers who just decide to hire Hispanics because the damn brown people do a good job. I know... it's terrible.
You don't seem to be aware of the long historical background of the policies the idea of a small government fights. Lincoln described slavery as "you work, I eat." Republicans pushed for slavery to be abolished because it was a glaring violation of the American ideal. Afterward, Democrats in the South passed bill after bill to segregate society. Train companies did not want to comply because it was horrendously costly. Bus companies violated those laws at the risk of sanctions because it was horrendously costly. What happened during the segregation era is simple enough: those who believed in individual liberties, a majority of black voters, and the businessmen who paid the cost of the political chauvinism of racists who voted Democrats banded together to fight those laws. The black vote swung to Democrats in the depth of the Great Depression: FDR bought them with the benefits of the New Deal. The same FDR who was admiring Mussolini's policies in Europe, whose party created Segregation out of which Nazis drew inspiration for the Nuremberg laws, who created the KKK and who nurtured racism. They voted for him because they were desperately in need. In the 1960s, the Civil Rights Act passed because of overwhelming Republican support. Of all Democrats present, only one switched party thereafter. The same damn racist pricks stayed Democrats all the way.
The core values Republicans defend today are very much the same values Lincoln defended in the 1860s. They are the values that pushed back against slavery, segregation, and racism. They are what we know works to find and fight evil. The values espoused on the other side of the aisle do not have an equally alluring pedigree. You call Trump hateful, yet he is not adopting piecemeal the doctrines of fascists from the 1930s... Using the State as an instrument to implement your social vision, subordinating all private interests to that vision and making use of violence and intimidation to silence dissenting voices... That's what people on the far left do.
