Donald Trump and Elon Musk have aimed their wrecking ball at public schools and the futures of the 50 million students in rural, suburban, and urban communities across America by dismantling public education to pay for tax handouts for billionaires. (Voters "split"?)

It must also be said that the resistance of the broader US public to the lure of fascism in the 1930s was not due to any moral clarity but because they were relentlessly propagandized by FDR and allies to reject these ideas and embrace more liberal ones. They weren’t better people than we are.
I’d also like to add that we don’t have very many stories about fascist ideology here in the United States aside from 1930s “America First” movements when Confederates, Redeemers, the first and second Klan, Dixiecrats, and McCarthyism all have hallmarks of fascist thinking.
