    This post is somewhat illuminating in one important way.

    American conservatives will never be appropriately concerned about the rise of fascism in the US, and they will never place any importance on being diligent against fascism, because they've convinced themselves that the American form of republican government is so exceptional that it literally cannot devolve into fascism or authoritarianism. They believe that fascism cannot happen under this system, and authoritarian creep is something it's not susceptible to.
