Here, this sums up American Politics:

The term you're looking for is fascist/authoritarian state.
The US is already fascist and mostly authoritarian from both parties as they are the limbs of the elite. It's just selectively enforced, but it's only a matter of time. The laws are already in place to remove the so-called freedom.
Wow, finally someone here gets it....it's both hilarious and disappointing when I witness conservatives thinking liberals are so different and vice versa...the worst is when conservatives think anyone that criticizes trump is automatically liberal or vice versa as if the entire spectrum of political thought only exists in the form of conservative vs. liberal...in reality and with respect to the entire spectrum of political thought, American Conservatives and liberals are both basically centrists with one leaning a millimeter to the right and the other leaning a millimeter to the left....Republicans and Democrats are in effect two wings of the SAME, PRO-Corporate, PRO-State, Pro-Elite party....they differ on about 5% of these issues, namely petty social issues that don't have that much effect on day to day life (though I do completely disagree with the tendency of conservatives to want to control the personal actions of individuals even when those actions have absolutely no effect on anyone else, including those conservatives e.g. abortion, drug use, sex, etc....I seriously think that anyone who cares about the actions of others when they have no effect on their own life is psychologically ill and/or distrurbed), and agree on 95% of the other issues, namely economic issues which can be boiled down to: The "Economy" being the most important thing in reality and to support the economy at the cost of people, freedom, the environment and basically everything else in existence.
Basically, regardless of who runs and who anyone votes for, Capitalism wins everytime at the polls, and I say that not as an anti-capitalist, but simply as an objective observer. Since its inception, this country was designed to subordinate the will of the people, to the will of the elite, and James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and the rest of the federalist cronies were outright explicit about that, hell, John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court said: "
Those who own the country ought to
govern it." Alexander Hamilton simply didn’t believe in democracy, which he labeled an American “disease.” He fought—with military force—any model of organizing the American political economy that might promote egalitarian politics. He was an authoritarian, and proud of it. most of Hamilton’s legacy is astonishingly counter-democratic. His central role in founding both the financial infrastructure of Wall Street and a nascent military establishment (which supplanted the colonial system of locally controlled democratic militias) was rooted in his self-appointed crusade to undermine the ability of ordinary Americans to govern themselves.
Or you can look at the literally countless examples of the government supressing (many times violently with murder) any attempt of the people to better their lives, just look at all the incredibly violent (in which the government was the cause of the violence) strikes in the 19th and 20th centuries, which literally earns American Government as the most violent strike breaker of all industrialized countries in all of history. For instance, the general strike in San Francisco of 1934, which developed out of a longshoremen’s strike, led to running battles with the police, National Guardsmen setting up machine gun nests and tanks for strike suppression, and a number of deaths. The massive strikes in the period of 1919-1922, involving more than one million workers in industries like railroads, steel, and mining, were met with enormous violence. One of the most famous is the coal mining wars, which culminated in the Battle for Blair Mountain. It pitted armed and organized miners against a private militia, federal troops, bombing runs by employer-hired aircraft, and some of the first post-war uses of military planes. Hundreds of miners died in the battles. During the Ludlow Massacre, National Guardsmen mounted a machine gun on a train, and mowed down strikers and their families living in tents. During the massive Pullman Strike of 1894, during which Socialist Party leader Eugene Debs was arrested, hundreds of thousands of workers went on strike, and the attorney general carpeted every state from Illinois to California with injunctions and martial law. Federal troops aided local police and private guards to suppress the strike. We can tell similar stories for the suppression of the Great Strike of 1877, which included a general strike in St. Louis; for the strike wave of 1886; for the Lawrence strike of 1912; for the Little Steel Strike, Harland County strikes, the Auto-Lite Strike, the Minneapolis strike, and the textile strikes of the 1930s, and so on.
These were workers simply asking for an 8 hour day and some safety precautions, and they were arbitrarily murdered because that would hurt the profit margin of these elites and their corporations...and both Democrats and Republicans have that blood all over their hands. So don't fool yourselves....if you're not in the top 1% of the wealthy, this country and all its politicians couldn't care less about you.
Basically, the comedian bill hicks summed this up years ago:
[Acting as a typical, ignorant American Voter]: "I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs!"
-"No, I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking..."
"HEY, wait a minute...there's one guy holding up both Puppets....!"
"SHUT UP, Go back to sleep America"
And when this is history I get to say I told you so
Norway doesn’t need the US or the EU but you wouldn’t know that Norway has trillions in oil money enough that every citizen get a million and there’d still be billions left over. My free healthcare, 5 weeks paid vacation and my guaranteed pension means I’m doing just fine thanks. I’m also Canadian we don’t have it bad there either. Canada softballed on you on tarrifs. Put lumber and power on the list and Canada could hurt you very badly so beat your chest all you like you’ll soon find yourself very alone if this trade war really comes to blows
