Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
China can't censor scripts, only we can! All films must be America circle jerk. Not able to show China or Russia in positive light. Tune to the superb :owl-wink: unless you're :freedom-hater:
Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
Make sure you refer to China as the [CHINESE] [COMMUNIST] party. Emphisis on COMMUNIST. They're coming to indocrinate you're kids! Also something something 'woke' because that's our code word for [un-American activities ].
Obsession with National Security
Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
Are you SCARED of the Chinese COMMUNIST balloon party yet? Do you feel sufficiently threatened now? Maybe we should call their satelites STALINites? Reeeee COMMIES over YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. It's q matter of nationL security we engage in a dorect and hostile arms race with the OTHER nation capable of Blowing you up. Are you sure your [ASIAN] :us-foreign-policy: husband is not a CCP spy? Here's a hotline to rat out anyone you suspect. They could be anywhere.
Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
No more Chinese Apps or Media. Only CIA and Pentagon approved. I want 24/7 on the "spy balloon" keep it on repeat until the masses accept whatever. Just get them to question it. Plant those seeds. No one is safe from spying COMMIES! Boost it on Youtube since those young freaks don't watch :1984: . Bought to you by Pfizer.
Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
Shoot it down! Use the most expensive jet that's flyable and shoot it down! That's muh airforce! Yeeeeah! Superbowl baby with the flyby! Why are you kneeling for our brave troops? Don't you know they fought a balloon for your :freedom-and-democracy: ?
Also we need more money for the dozen of bases we need to build to :frothingfash: COUNTER COMMIE AGGRESSION
On that last point, it's not just about military spending. American society is geared towards worshipping the troops. Anything less than uncritical and total support for the troops will cause you problems, up to and including strangers getting confrontational
