I think it was Parenti who said that neoliberalism has achieved many of fascisms goals with a veneer of democracy. The USA has MANY fascistic elements already, particularly if you are not white or are explicitly anti-capitalist (lord help you if you are both).
I don’t think the future USA will look anything like quite has existed before. Many societies that went full fascists had very unique circumstances (material conditions in Germany were actually terrible for a while before the Nazis came to power). Honestly, many Americans are very lazy and self centered. I hate to think about what will happen if we the USA gets into a prolonged depression though.
