CMV: The US is falling into Fascism

The US administration is pushing boundaries of freedom everyday, crushing it's pillars.

Political enemies are defunded, sued, imprisoned. If you're a foreigner expressing an opinion against the regime, you'll get deported. If you're an american citizen, you'll be discredited and brought to tour knees by any means possible.

Phones are being searched at the border not for signs of illegal activity, but for signs of disagreement with the regime.

One step at a time, language and rhetoric is becoming more violent and outspoken. Those resisting the regime are now enemies of state, invaders from within on whom war should be waged. Political allies are now enemies that should be considered for invasion.

I simply cannot wrap my head around how this isn't textbook fascism and I'm fascinated how weak the pushback is.

Political rebels are peacefully trying to argue against a seemingly fascist regime proven to use brute force. Citizens are sheepishly paying their federal taxes while posting memes on the internet.

Am I not seeing something? Perhaps my lense is too biased?
