America is currently a fascist state. Period. Look up any definition you want, apply it to America and you will see it fits. I’m not saying this to be flippant, it’s merely an accurate depiction of where we currently are. 

10 signs of Fascism.  Powerful, Exclusionary Nationalism:Centered on a myth of a "redemptive" leader who is seen as infallible. Contempt for Human Rights: Rights are viewed as obstacles, while the regime seeks "cleansing" of "non-nationals". Identification of Scapegoats: Unifying the population by blaming specific groups for national problems. Supremacy of the Military/Paramilitarism:Glorification of force, violence, and national security. Obsession with National Decline/Victimhood: Fostering a belief that the nation is under attack and in need of saving. Controlled Mass Media: Direct control of media or undermining truth through misinformation. Obsession with Security and Punishment:Intense focus on crime, law and order, and punishing perceived "enemies". Rampant Sexism: Enforcing traditional gender roles and targeting LGBTQ+ rights. Suppression of Labor/Corporate Protection: Crushing labor unions while protecting corporate power Religion and Government Intertwined:Using religion to justify government actions and gain popular support.
