We all get that

we are already living under fascism, right?

4. You clearly have no idea what it would be like to live in a fascist state.

For one, you'd already be dead for writing that. Get a grip. Trump does not control the media, just Fox News (or maybe they control him). He doesn't control the DOJ - in case you hadn't noticed, the DOJ just raided Trump's lawyer's office. Mueller has warned him he'll be subpoenaed if he doesn't voluntarily answer questions. Congressional Republicans are so cowed by Mueller they didn't sign articles of impeachment they drew up for Rosenstein. To misquote mark Twain, your assumptions regarding the demise of democracy in the USA are greatly exaggerated.
