The longer the American fascists stay in power, the less likely it is that the US will be able to remove them more-or-less peacefully. Thankfully there are some good signs mixed in among the bad ones.

Fascism considers immigration an invasion that "weakens the blood" of a nation, which is literally the exact opposite of American values for a nation of immigrants.

This is not only fascism, but shows how, if you agree with this, you are literally being unAmerican.
