If we dig deeper past the shame, we find a power structure that is intentionally and fundamentally evil. In every economic crisis the facade becomes weaker, and more people wake up to the political and economic reality of our nation. This is when fascism shows itself, promising to take us to our former glory while people struggle to survive.
Fascism is a disease that slowly infects its host. We should remember how America fought so bravely against German fascism. My mother's family came to America to escape the fascist authoritarianism of that nation, and I can't see myself moving to Germany.

The US opposed German nationalist imperialism (quite late into that campaign), but never meaningfully fascism as such. During the Red Scare, several people were even investigated and blacklisted for being "prematurely antifascist." https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:tAcKhlwS7rsJ:https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-jul-15-bk-22387-story.html+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-b-d https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:tAcKhl...
- LB232323 6y agoI am aware of this history. We can't forget the veterans that fought with our allies to successfully defeat the Nazis. German nationalist imperialism is Nationalsozialistiche Deutsche Abeiterpartei, the namesake of the Nazi Party. The immigration of my own family is a product of German fascism.
