It's because these people trust Elites, good or bad, as long as they manifest the characteristics of the Elite, that "presidential" tone. Because they don't trust themselves as individuals. So Trump, a magnisfiscent manifestation of an individual, scares the shit out of them.

Neocons don't seek to wipe anyone out, as proved by iraq, where they made a big mess but never wiped or tried to wipe anyone out.
Paleoconservative begins to be a bit too obscure of a term for me. Not a native gringo. Will you flesh it out for me?
But nazis really are communists. They are for the commune, against the individual.
If you look at it on a per policy basis, leftists today align almost perfectly with Nazis.

Capitalism itself is a kind of exploitation, in that when the means of production is made more efficient via advancements in automation and energy production, rather than capitalists sharing some of the spoils with workers, they lay them off, and later rehire them to do increasingly meaningless work.
I say meaningless because most or much of the meaningful work (taking care of societies necessities, and even its natural wants if you will) has been taken by machines, giving way to a consumerism (created wants) that largely benefits capitalists, ruining our health and the health of the planet in the process.
And the process of obsolescence, laying off and rehiring continues.
economic growth used to be a good thing, but it's become the enemy of the people and the environment.
Furthermore, the left argues unbridled capitalism inevitably leads to corporatism, and I agree.
And we've had corporatism for decades.
It's not enough to simply remove the corruption in place, the elite have been getting richer off of it for over a century.
They owe us trillions of dollars in reparations.

Nazis are the right: conservative policies, traditional values, theocratic authoritarian leadership. Nazism is essentially a wing of the catholic church.
Communism is Left only when it occurs naturally (which has never happened). Apart from that, all dictators who try to impose communistic policies prematurely hail from the Right.
