Can we stop talking throwing around words like "autocracy" and "oligarchy" when talking about America's uncertain future?
According to history, political experts, and a little-known book called "a dictionary," America is ALREADY in the throes of fascism.

"...a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power."
