You already got good answers but I’m going to add this:

• There’s nothing special about Germany here. Many if not most EU countries suffer from far-right populist parties rising - however, within a democratic parliamentary system.
• This is very much a matter of degrees. Let’s say the US is 90% fascism, Germany is orders of magnitude less than that. There’s a lot to be added here, the USA’s long history of weakening checks and balances, Germany’s strong post-WW2 constitution etc.

English language news are (still) obsessed with Germany’s past and every Nazi thing out of Germany will get amplified 10x more than, say, out of France or Sweden.
