Come to think of it, I was at my most alienated when I was a libertarian.
Here's why American is fascist:
Nationalism
I don't really need to explain this one. America is a nationalist state--America is above all in the eyes of the typical American and that is the view perpetrated by corporate America and the government.
Foreign Policy
An imperialist foreign policy is the basis of an empire in the mind of a fascist, and we (economically and militarily) depend on imperialism for our standard of life.
Totalitarianism
Despite the facade of democracy, the shots are really called by a small oligarchy mostly centered around the financial industry. Collectively, they have the most money and the most power over Washington. This small group has successfully lobbied for policies that benefit their business, as well as lobbied for the expansion of state power.
Social Darwinism
The weak are left out to die. The strong not only survive, but they thrive. The fascist uses this ideology to justify inequality in society. It is a typical argument of the American capitalist, even if using this term is not accepted.
Social Interventionism
Yes, finally, one aspect we can blame on the democrats. Intervening in social issues is a typical big state liberal tactic, but in actuality this does little more than influence the public to be complicit in the government's actions.

Abortion, eugenics and euthanasia
This one might not match right up (fascism is socially progressive, after all), but nevertheless more non-whites get abortions than whites, proportionally.
Intentional or not that is the result. Or, you could think of it as modernize--those that get abortions tend to be from the lower echelons of society. Therefore, regardless of race, the gene pool is improved.

Culture, gender and sexuality
Our gender stereotypes of old are identical to fascism. John Wayne anybody? America promotes on culture, and rather than being an accepting, multicultural society, we take many cultures and try to herd them in to one culture.
The economy
The fascist economic philosophy is identical to that of the democrats. 'Nuff said.
"Fascists declared their opposition to finance capitalism, interest charging, and profiteering.[179] Nazis and other anti-Semitic fascists, considered finance capitalism a "parasitic" "Jewish conspiracy".[180] Fascist governments nationalized some key industries, managed their currencies and made some massive state investments.[citation needed] They introduced price controls, wage controls and other types of economic interventionist measures.[181]"
Sound like a mix of Republican and Democratic policies? I think so.
