Fascism in the U.S.A.

As a Federal Republic, the United States of America was founded as a Representative Democracy.

The Statue of Liberty has historically been a symbol of Liberty And Freedom For All. 

However, with the ever-increasing trend of political conservatism in the United States, there has been: a rise of religious intolerance toward Islam and the imposition of the value system espoused by Conservative Christianity onto all Americans; surges of anti-Semitism sentiment and of anti-immigrant sentiment along with calls for the closing of the southern American border; a movement that stresses isolationism from the rest of the world while concurrently turning away from traditional European and South Pacific allies and moving toward political friendships with Russia, China, and North Korea; the institutionalization of a plutocracy in the Executive branch of American government as a result of the 2016 Presidential election; and with the mocking actions and words spewing intolerance, hatred, and violence by the current CEO of America's national government and his entrenched supporters, it seems as though Freedom is reserved only for selected people in the United States of America.

It is my opinion that the United States of America of today is turning away from representative democracy and is leaning more and more toward Fascism.

"Fascism is a form of radical, right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe."
