Tom's mistake here is known as a "motte and bailey fallacy" --- he's retreating to the narrow argument of "is the government of the United States a fully empowered fascist regime?"
My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1
