How is the country that inspired Hitler's entire ideology fascist? How is a state run by a communist party not fascist?

It's literally in Mein Kampf. Lebensraum is explicitly intended to be a mirroring of the US doing westward expansion into land held by native tribes. In his writings he made the comparison all the time. It's not a secret unless you had an American education.

They even had illustrated children's books writing a new national mythos along the same lines as cowboys and indians. The United States is Nazi Germany 200 years after Hitler won the war.

Original brainchild for Lebensraum explicitly points to Manifest Destiny: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/lebensraum. You can slap "lebensraum" and "manifest destiny" into google and also see the results for yourself. I admit say I'm not a well of primary nazi sources if that doesn't satisfy you.

Zyklon B was used to "delouse" Mexican immigrants at the southern border before it was ever used in Nazi death camps.

IBM built the computers that Germany used to track their Jewish population.

Not that I don't believe you, because America was initially cozying up to the US, but may you please send sources?
