Oh, absolutely. I’m not saying that American exceptionalism is the root of all fascism, but it is certainly an excellent lubricant for it in the U.S.; you can get away with a lot if the populace believes that their actions are just, and much of the west has viewed the U.S. as the arbiter of justice.
The problem with American exceptionalism is more that the U.S. has held immense soft power for a very long time now. For example, it’s not just Americans that believe that they won WWII, people here in Europe believe that as well.

Never mind that of India.
