I think Americans are well past the point of blaming this on communism.

There's still a kinda fear of "socialism" and other stuff as specters, but it's internal. I don't think many here are looking at shit that's going down locally and saying "...Damn Russkies." I haven't seen that once IRL since like 2016. Even mega Trumpers I know are looking inward (at Democrats); that's kinda the point of the movement, and those I knew who were a little Cold War nostalgic have, sadly, passed away.

Excuse me?? How could you not notice all the Russophobia and Sinophobia? The russophobia crap got really bad when Russia finally decided to do something about the Nazi Regime in Ukraine propped up by the US empire in 2014

The anti-china crap has been present for years now
