Europe isn’t immune either, by any means.

Feel rare to hear that expressed, but one of the side effects of our fall into fascism is that, like you say - we make for a good case study, and if it woke Europeans up a bit and that fall doesn't happen over there, so much the better.

It definitely is a reminder that we cannot take democracy for granted. It is a constant struggle. And letting the oligarchs "play" with their Fox News lies and right-wing radio… that experiment shows that fascism and authoritarianism must be stamped out and not allowed to thrive as an "equal voice".

We already have Slovakia, Hungary and Italy here, with Italy being ruled by literal neofascists – FdI is a direct descendant of Mussolini's original Fascist Party. Finland is on its way to joining them. In Germany AfD is gaining popularity, RN is very popular in France and so on
