Which planet are you living on? Noam Chomsky predicted the election of someone like Trump six years ago [1]. You have it backwards: it's the milquetoast neoliberal part of the spectrum that didn't see the rise of fascism coming. Socialists, communists, anarchists, etc. have been concerned about the rise of fascism ever since World War II.
