We NEVER had a democracy, just a pathetic illusion of it, and YES the US administration is clearly embracing fascism, but its not slowly, unless your comparing it to the speed of light.

Police State.
The United States use to stand for something around the world, but now most of the world is shaking its head. Any respect given to the U.S. is more out of fear of our military weapons than respect for core American values and principles. But with the U.S. bogged down in Iraq, unable to achieve victory there, even our military seems not so mighty anymore. The loss of America's global leadership role is just one of the many casualties of current administrative policies.

It will not be surprising if it is the end of the 2 party system. The end of democracy too.

Technically, democracy ended when Rome took over Greece. (We're a Republic)

I don't know about a police state but the people have lost their voice.

I'm sorry but yes you are. And if you continue it will be a great problem first of all for the USA. Just look at world's history.

Wake up please! There has never been a democracy. It's all bullsh*t
The US has always been a representative republic. That means we elect rulers to make decisions.

Feels that way for citizens. Illegals don't seem to have a problem though do they?
