If the United States does not seem like a fascist country to you, you are probably very privileged and politically undereducated. We are funding a genocide for an ethnostate. We have a hugely inflated prison population for whom slavery is legal. No country even comes close to the amount of money we spend on the military, look it up it's not even close.
Sure, we have democratic elections, but so does Russia. When the "good guys" win the presidency, the United States is still doing all those things I mentioned.
Lotta hyperbole and angry assumptions about who's privileged and politically uneducated in this conversation.

There are so many definitions, I don't know why you insist on one that apparently doesn't include slavery, genocide, and military worship.
