Americans do not like when someone uses the words "fascism" and "oligarchy". It's jarring to think that is even possible in the United States but a) we are here and b) the two have traditionally gone hand-in-hand.




The Americans that react most extremely to those words are generally those that don't realize it's actually what they want.

They just know the words as derogatory, without realizing that they represent the world as they think they'd like it to be.

That, is very Russian. They are "fighting the fascists" though they are.

Not surprising that the same people have special affection for Russia and their dictator. It's a role model.
