The Democrats were less obvious but still bow down to corporations.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini.

Merger is the key word.

Corporates do have some power, to greater or lesser degrees, in most government systems. But very few have the level of control over writing laws and paying politicians that the USA has.

So watch out for more signs of fascism, particularly when corporate rights trump individuals.

Corporatism doesn't have to come with racism. Technically fascism neither, but nobody uses it like that.
