What about the KKK, white supremacist, Elon, and Trump? Are they not far-right?
You must be argumenting in bad faith to say things as idiotic as "there is no far-right in america".

OK, buddy. It's clear that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You are either severely ignorant on almost every aspect, or you're here being deliberately malicious in an effort to confuse people who are ignorant. Imagine thinking fascism is on the left and somehow related to communism. I guess you better get every historian, political scientist, and philosopher from the last one hundred years on the phone and tell them they're wrong.
"Far-right politics, often termed right-wing extremism, is an umbrella term[1] that encompasses a range of ideologies that are marked by radical conservatism, authoritarianism, ultra-nationalism, and nativism.[2] This political spectrum situates itself on the far end of the right, distinguished from more mainstream right-wing ideologies by its opposition to liberal democratic norms and emphasis on exclusivist views. Far-right ideologies have historically included fascism, Nazism, and Falangism, while contemporary manifestations also incorporate neo-fascism, neo-Nazism, white supremacy, and various other movements characterized by chauvinism, xenophobia, and theocratic or reactionary beliefs."
"Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3] Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism,[4][5] fascism is at the far right of the traditional left–right spectrum.[6][5][7]"
Also, there is no way in hell you're a classical liberal. You're free to call yourself whatever you want, but you're only fooling yourself and other really stupid people.
