Fascismo Americano? It's hard to say... things have changed since the forties, which is why it's erroneous to compare current American ideologies to those of German Nazis and Italian fascists.
I don't think fascism as we know it historically is the issue; I think the issue is a crisis of morality. After all, didn't fascism become rampant where nations lost their way?
