14. I find this continued use of "we" disturbing and imprecise.
What you MEAN to ask is this: "Is the American political right embarked on the road to fascism?" To which the answer is "yes". However, "we" are not becoming fascists, since "we" are not all members of the political right. "We" are not America, and America is not "us". In point of fact, the US government of the past three and a half years is much more "them". Therefore, use of "we" is erroneous and misleading.
