This is why many of us say that voting for the lesser of two evils has put us on our current path to US fascism.

The oligarchs in the US learned from the mistakes of the oligarchs and Hindenberg in Weimar Germany. Don't allow a clear dictator to come to power. Keep a better facade of democracy while making slow steps to destroy democracy and create a neo-feudal state with a very few aristocrats at the top, enough upper and upper middle class to suport that democratic facade, and then 80% of the country will be neo-serfs with virtually no chance to succeed.
