At the risk of sounding glib, but I’m completely serious, the US state is fascist. It’s not about good or bad, it’s about the state cracking down on its opposition. And it’s not just now. Opposing fascism ‘too early’ in the ww2 period before the US joined the war, say, by supporting the leftists fighting in Spain would get you targeted for repression in the purges of the 50’s we call ‘the red scare.’
Many Amerikans were retroactively targeted in the 50s during the redscare for doing things like sending money to communists in Spain to fight the fascists.

Um, 1950 was after WW2.
