I would argue that the American system is already largely fascist, given that the education and health care systems are basically run by the federal government, either directly, through mandates, or by threats of cutting off funding.
The third leg of the fascist tripod is state-run media, which the USA technically never had, but has had, as a functional matter, since (at least) World War II. It's not obviously state-run, but the Twitter Files are just the tip of the iceberg of behind-the-scenes pressure/coercion, inserted agents (Look at all the ex-CIA in top commentator spots across all legacy tv), and indoctrinated news agencies who deliver The Message of their own volition.
In fascism, you get to own stuff, but the government controls what you can do with what you own. The Krupp family dynasty owned Krupp Steel for a century before, then during, and ever since the Nazi regime. Krupp steel built all the tanks and guns for Hitler (and every German government since the 19th Century).
Anyone who hasn't read "The Arms of Krupp" needs to.
