The current US government is trying to create a narrative where America is under siege from a shadowy army of foreign left-wing forces.

In particular, this aligns with several of Umberto Eco's fourteen properties of Ur-Fascism[1]:

4. Disagreement is treason

7. Obsession with a plot

8. The enemy is at the same time too strong and too weak.
