20. I don't agree with your assessment.

The American right absolutely despises the state, is absolutely devoted to the trappings of democracy, and cares far more about the substance thereof than DUers tend to give them credit for.

There is no chance whatsoever of America adopting a system giving the state as much power as Fascism in the forseeable future.

There are, however, plenty of countries out there that are *already* fascist, or close approximations thereof never mind "going" - Myanmar, Iran and Syria spring to mind; I'm sure there are others.
