It's not that Americans themselves are getting more fascist, more hateful. If anything, Americans are becoming more tolerant.

It's that a small set of extremely rich people is getting bolder about funding extremism, bolder about supporting coups, bolder about buying courts.

@alexwild and this tolerance makes them complicit in growing fascism and in doing so, makes them fascists.
US Americans *are* becoming more fascist. Even those on the left of the far right are more fascist. If the Dems were staunchly opposing fascism, they'd say so and do throngs to cointer-act it.
And behind all of that is the core of fascism: religion.
Even those 'normal' christians like Catholics and protestants and Anglicans (oh and all other religions) are based on fascist principles.
The sooner they eat each other, tge better.
