Bigots consolidating power by using national pride to make minorities, immigrants, and the educated into enemies to be rallied against, allying with corporate interests who realize the consolidated powers can be used to maximally exploit the working class. A machine that needs to be constantly fed by fear of "the other" until it inevitably eats itself. Very much tied to a false notion of simple answers to complex problems, unhealthy national pride, an obsession with displays of strength, and an unwavering victim complex.
You know, us Americans.
