You must have a great imagination then, because that was never the case.
This sort of comment is so weak. Yes, America has always had a fascism problem, heck we've got literal fasces on the US seal.
But there has also been a massive flare up of fascism since Trump took office. If you look at Obama, then Trump, and you see the same picture I just can't take you seriously.
It's possible for two things to be imperfect, and still have one be massively more awful. It's like comparing influenza to cancer and being like "America has always been sick"; yeah no shit, but what we've got cooking right now is a different beast, and it necessitates different interventions.
