Well, the trouble with calling a country fascist is that fascism is a very vaguely defined word. If we want to use Mussolini's original intended definition, the fusion of state and corporate power, then we are well under way. But most people's definitions of fascism include some type of absolute totalitarianism, and our country is more of a seriously corrupt bureaucracy where the people have the illusion of freedom by being given a choice every four years between two rich white heterosexual Christian capitalists with slightly varying agendas for maintaining the status quo, so I probably wouldn't call it fascist by the modern standard definition, but whatever it is it's a long way from freedom.
