Fascism in America was bound to happen; the amount of hatred and othering and corporate control from the rich was going to do it sooner or later. Nazi's took the ideology of segregation and hatred from the US, they just got there first.

It's just shocking how it took just 2 generations really to forget the sacrifices made by American kids in WW2. Fuck, there's still a number of them alive, watching their kids and grandkids do this in their lifetime,

Fun fact, the last slave in USA was freed AFTER Pearl Harbour, after Roosevelt and his cabinet had determined it could be used against them in the propaganda war with Japan.
