Fascism is tricky to pin down but in John Flynn’s book As We Go Marching, he describes 5 characteristics of fascism.
1 large central govt w deficit
2 state interference in market economy with planned economy in practice
3)informal or formal imperialism
4)militarism
5) dictator or cult of personality
We’ve got 4 of these sown up. We’re getting dangerously close to number 5 IMO. The 2 presidents before Biden had some aspect of a cult of personality but were limited in the power they could weld. All it takes is for someone to come in with a cult of personality that knows how to consolidate power to sew up #5.
