American exceptionism & the myth that the U.S. can't or won't exhibit the same behaviors or beliefs as fascist, racist, countries & their leaders do, is false. We are seeing evidence of fascism in our current administration. Characteristics of Fascism:
-Powerful & Continuing Nationalism
-Disdain for the Recognition of. Human Rights
-Identification of Enemies/ Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
-Supremacy of the Military
-Rampant Sexism
-Controlled Mass Media
-Obsession with National Security
