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 On the relevant side, only the extremely rich matter, since times immemorial. Effectively Americans are getting more fascist and hateful.

That has been the only real change; barely resisted by "other Americans".
