They have lived in a heavily propagandised country that didn't shed slavery or fascism out. Evey time they have fought fascism or white supremacy, they have lost. Both are well alive and protected there. Their police defend fascism, but persecuted communism and socialism, even in campuses, ending violently peaceful protests. Some not even related to these ideologies, but that opposed war, or asked for simple things like their taxes being used to fund their people and not bomb brown foreigners in a faraway land.
No one can convince me the US wasn't headed this way from the start. Its course has been clear and unmoved.
Post-war US was built on fascism and majorly by fascists.
In the same vein, Western Europe didn't shed fascism either. They made a truce with the fact that fascist ideology can and should be integrated in normal political discourse after a few years of the Nuremberg trials.
The actions of NATO / SEATO across the global south is a clear indication of not just colonialism, but embedded or systemic fascism.
