US media needs to start saying fascism when it sees fascism.
The American public has been so propogandized into thinking the US is inherently antifascist (as a holdover from WW2) that even their educated can’t recognize it happening in front of them.
Oh lookie here at all this ultranationalism, militarism, authoritarianism, language around purity / sanctity of our nation and scapegoating of minorities / immigrants. I wonder what we should call this absolutely unprecedented stew of bullshit that’s meant to put people through a meatgrinder that concentrates power and enriches the elite?

They recognize it. They just want to protect themselves while others take risks.
Much like … Everyone else.
Almost like they want to…be on the sidelines.
