You need to look around you. People are being disappeared off the streets and sent to hard labor concentration camps in El Salvador. American scholars of fascism are literally fleeing the US saying "this is it!". The federal gov't is being dismantled wholesale. America has destroyed its relationships with Canada and Europe, crippled NATO, and is openly planning to annex foreign territories and countries.
This is it, friend. You're in it. The visible damage hasn't accumulated too much yet, but all the things that fascist regimes do, are being done now. You might argue that Americans are fighting back, that lawfirms targetted by EO are refusing to comply, that the ACLU is fighting in court, that protestors are in the streets. This was all happening in Germany in the mid 30s too. It didn't stop what happened, and the passivity of the "it's not that bad" crowd was a big part of that.
