What Would An American Fascist Government Look Like?
We can’t pretend we don’t know what’s happening and where it will lead if it’s not stopped - the question is what we will do about it

It’s time to talk about what an American fascist government would look like. The word “fascism” gets thrown around a lot, but most Americans have no idea what it would look like or how it would actually play out.
It’s critical to lay out what a fascist America would look like now because this is what is being envisioned right now by many in the Republican Party, and it might come to pass.
They don’t talk about it out loud very much, like Nixon’s man G. Gordon Liddy used to back in the day when he signed memos using Hitler’s SS symbol. But there is a model here and they do have something in mind.
What could it be? What would it look like? How will it most likely come about?
First, and essential to American fascism, Republicans envision a strong-man Leader who will hold power for as long as he (it’s always a “he”) chooses, with the transition to the next Leader determined by the Leader himself.
This has been the primary characteristic of every fascistic government to emerge in the 7000-year written history of the modern world.
When Trump was running for re-election, at rallies in both Nevada and Wisconsin, he came right out and said that not only would he win the 2020 election but that he’d also be re-elected again in 2024. He was dead serious.
Sure, our constitution says a president can only serve two terms: so did the Russian constitution, until Putin got it amended. Trump was planning the same, and his followers were — if the response at the rallies when he announced it is any indicator — ecstatic at the prospect.
That single strongman Leader is the key to understanding everything else that happens when a country flips from democracy to oligarchy to fascism.
For example, in a fascist state the way that you as an average citizen ensure your own advancement and economic, personal, and political security is by sucking up to that man. You either become an acolyte/follower or you find yourself on the outside looking in.

They love Viktor Orban and his neofascist authoritarian views. If they got someone like that, they could really do some serious damage to this country. Not like they haven't already. 
"useful idiots" who collaborate
in advancing the interest of dictators
And they showed themselves right in front of America's face.
He should be banned from this site.
Now here he is generously educating us what we can expect from fascism.
How we will have to adjust & comply.
Well ain't this mighty big of him.
He's the voice of re-educating the American public on how to live under fascist rule.
Vomit 
He reached here & abroad.
US media to Russia State Owned RT media.
He profited as all media did, on the breaking back of our Democracy.
HE did nothing to save us.
With his media reach he could have made the case with the warnings back when it mattered most.
But he didn't.
He comes now with his "How to live under fascism" re-education schtick. For even more profit.$$$$
And the crowds applaud & say Yes Yes Thom! May I have another!
