From the outside looking in, I'm waiting for evidence that Americans want to scrub fascism out of their politics.
I'm not optimistic.
The problem is the people voting for the fascists don't see it as that and are told by their chosen propaganda outlets that it isn't fascism, it's actually the people on the other side who want to do such horrible horrible things like: provide access to affordable childcare. Gasp!
There's also a lack of understanding of the concept of fascism as related to corporate subservience which a lot of Democrats could be guilty of as well. Unfortunately the shitforbrains SCOTUS ruled corporations are people, money is political speech, and a person's political speech can't be limited: unlimited spending for campaigns.
Oh, the rest of the world sees sees the wilful ignorance, and the considerable funds that go into entrenching it.
We also see that Americans don't consider the above to be sufficient reason to show up to vote against heavy handed social engineering designed to harm them.
The rest of the world is at the mercy of every fucking American election cycle, left with fading hope that Americans will pull their heads out of their asses.
Hopefully they isolate themselves so much that the rest of the world will be influenced less by their election cycle.
It's that pesky superpower detail that complicates matters.
