There's no control of the media? Then how do you explain the complete and total omission of third parties from the media? The only logical reason I can think of is because the Republicrats control it.

Possibly has something to do with it, but has more to do with people just not caring or having interest. The media only cares about ratings to make money, and if people were interested enough in third parties they would cover them.

I'd be willing to bet people would have interest if they knew about them in the first place.

Yeah, but the media doesn't generally think long term - what's interesting now is what they care about.

Truth is, all governments are fascist to one degree or another - so of course you can see things in the U.S. that would make it look fascist. Anarchy would likely lead to someone taking over by force, resulting in worse fascism, so that's not an option. However, our government is not nearly even close to being fascist enough to constitute an overthrow, and as far as fascism goes we don't experience much of it.
