I’d argue that’s the case in most countries. Almost all ppl need is a singular common enemy to turn off their brain and latch onto facism. Ppl are so quick to accept the easiest solution to all their problems is getting rid of the foreigners. Propaganda wasn’t created in the US, it just it’s most recent victim
There are definitely varying degrees as to how far that phenomenon has taken hold, and it has done so to a much larger degree in the US than in a lot of other countries. There is not really any point in trying to relativise this, it is not “business as usual”, this is radicalisation on a 1930s Germany level.

Yeah but many Americans are illiterate receptacles of propaganda so there ya go. 😔
