      It’s cope, at least in part, to point out that the open advance of fascism in the US is several years ahead of the rest of the Western world, and that this was possible under an absolute dumbfuck embarrassment like Trump. And I get why people need to cope right now.

      It’s also not wrong to point out that this was enabled by the US exceptionalist mindset and particular flavor of nationalism that we’ve all been exposed to.

      This reads as a diss against all people in the US, but it’s not. I strongly empathize with and am in solidarity with those suffering under it.
