Fascism in America? Unthinkable.

The primary answer to the question here is that most Americans are indoctrinated into believing that this country is the best in the world.  It’s so good, in fact, that it’s not susceptible to things like fascism.

This reminds me of all the conversations I’ve had with Europeans over the past couple of years, in which I asked people about their reactions to what’s happened in the United States.  Most people say, “We just can’t believe it happened to America.  If you had said that Paraguay or Mali has a new authoritarian leader, no one in Europe would have batted an eyelash.  But America?  Unthinkable.”
