Fascism is too advanced a concept for America. The immediate danger is from a nuclear armed idiocracy. There will be no American Mein Kampf because 18% of the population is functionally illiterate and a reasonably high percentage barely reads anything.
The citizens of France, Germany, and the UK don’t think that they need to do anything other than follow the normal democratic process to avoid fascist rule.
The American right likes to bleat about fascism in the UK, but the actual right wing party reform UK got only 14% of the popular vote while labour got 33% and the Tories 23%. The lib Dems another 12%.
By contrast, Trump had only about a 1% popular vote lead over Harris even in this election. So if there’s a country where a vast number of people believe that a fascist holds sway, it is America, not the UK.
There is reason to believe that Americans are quite under an idiocracy, with a drugged out Ivy League legacy philandering cheat about to be in charge of health, and another average student who bought his way in, dismissing the work of actual scientists. His cheerleaders suffer from the same Dunning Kruger syndrome.
