Yes that's one. Another is that the Alt-Right was literally founded by a person that does nazi salutes and wants to ethnically cleanse the US to turn it into a "whites only ethno-state." His words. His plan to do this is through policy at first. His best friend from Duke university, now sets US immigration policy. Again.
All of this has been publicly available knowledge for the past 8 years.
I think some people are still holding out hope that the supporters of these policies would reject them if they only knew that they were ethnic cleansing policies. I... don't have that hope.
The only thing that I've observed that makes people that support these policies decide not to support these policies any more, is when they experience that these policies harm themselves too. It's selfishness, not empathy, or caring about other people, or rejection of fascism, that makes them change.
"I hope they crush our enemies! But... don't deport my family members."
"I hope they crush our enemies! But... let me hire H1-Bs."
"I hope they crush our enemies! But... keep funding Ukraine's military."
"I hope they crush our enemies! But... don't bankrupt my agribusiness."
"I hope they crush our enemies! But... I need my government job, so I hope it's not eliminated."
"I hope they crush our enemies! But... I need this health insurance, so I hope they leave ACA alone."
"I hope they crush our enemies! But... California needs FEMA help, so I hope they don't take that away."
Etc.
Each group wants fascism for others, even when the fascists promise a little fascism for them too.
