Calling Americans fascists goes too far because a lot of us don't support these programs, but calling everyone that supports these mass surveillance NSA program

Calling Americans fascists goes too far because a lot of us don't support these programs, but calling everyone that supports these mass surveillance NSA programs fascists is not unreasonable, after all the policy of "all foreigners are fair game" certainly meets the criteria of "belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader" (from the OED). If that doesn't describe the arguments made by USG politicians in defense of these programs, then I don't know what does. It's fascism an an international level instead of an intranational level.
