Are you ignoring all the fascist shit happening across the world lately as well?

This particular thing may be US-exclusive, but countries across Europe are doing their best to get back to the early 20th century again as well. Putin is trying to rebuild the Soviet Union again, and China is trying to take the Pacific by force, much like the Japanese Empire had a century ago.

There are parallels across the globe happening every day, don't delude yourself to thinking this is a US-only phenomenon.
