When your country has dropped several times the tonnage of all bombs dropped during WW2 a couple times over, has allied with ex-Nazis, military dictators, and authoritarians the world over, has used state power to assassinate multiple reformist leaders (MLK, JFK), and the levers of power are run by billionaires and corporations heading up an unprecedented military, police, and intelligence state - well, you might already BE fascist. The cows left the barn a while back. Having a blue 'Liberal' party is entirely compatible with being fascist.
