4. several of the Fourteen Defining Characteristics Of Fascism

Rely on Fox "News".
The Obvious-6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

Then their is Billo's war on Christmas-8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

Crony Capitalism and support for Pols of this Ilk. IE the GOP-9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

Let's not forget the Palm trees in Wisconsin, and the OLD,OLD,OLD,OLD,OLD, film of the peasants storming the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg Glenn Beck ran over,and over, and over, again. -10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
I could go on but this will just bore the hell out of you.
