Heck no even back in the late 60s, when anti war protests heated up, the word was that it would be far more likely that the US would become a fascist state before it ever became even a socialist one. Prediction has, sadly, come true.

Conservatism is just about out of fuel, and Liberalism is undergoing a major renovation. Given fifty years of even semi-intelligent governance, America can re-emerge as the main engine of social progress. We will look back on these days fondly, when Barak, Hillary and John took our hand and started us down this road. --p!
What is this obsession DUmmies have with fascism and the US becoming a fascist country?
I don't think a left wing government will be voted in, the risk is that it will creep in one politically correct new law at a time.

Who knows.Well they already feel like they are oppressed...they just want a form of government that verifies their feelings.
Well they should move to Cuba if they want that.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
I'm still waiting on the explanation of how we are a fascist state.
