Fascism requires enemies, both internal and external. These enemies need to be painted as simultaneously: weak and can be crushed; but also so dangerous that they are destroying the country. Once the population accepts this rhetoric, the government can literally do anything.
You can't be a bully if you're not bullying anybody. A bully without a victim is just a loud angry person.
Might as well face it, America adores bullies. A good bully around who you feel isn't bullying you will focus feeling of general anxiety into feelings of directed hate which are easier to compartmentalize.
