Unfortunately the general population trusts what Republicans say about immigration. And this seem to give them a carte blanche apparently. https://www.slowboring.com/p/democrats-cant-hide-from-immigration https://www.slowboring.com/p/democrats-cant-hide-from-immigr... The boring and likely true answer is that the US has always been at least a bit fascistic. As every state. (As every official brings their own biases, which then shows up as errors in the workings of the state, which then leads to injustices, and so on.) There was always a lot of "fuck yeah America" which many times meant fuck anyone else. And initially America only meant white America, right? This doublespeak is not new. (Immigration quotas and disenfranchisement of various ethnic groups is not new. Redlining affected anyone non-white.) Now as the culture, the zeitgeist, jurisprudence and laws are regressing (to some mean?) the US is becoming a lot more fascistic.
