If you think the US is just some anomaly and not the canary in the coalmine of a global rise of fascism, you're in for a rude awakening. The US absolutely fucked it up, no question about it, and it's up to Americans to fix that mess, but pretending it's somehow contained and isolated is very shortsighted. "Fuck you, I got mine" is the exact type of attitude that leads to fascism. Nationalism is a problem even when your country isn't objectively fucked up.
