That’s why Dark money and ALEC exist because the oligarchy want to grow their power even more than it has for the last fifty years.
ALEC's mission is "limited government, free markets and federalism"--Federalism and limited government are antithetical to fascism.
Like the Republican Party says:
If you're one of the top 1% and you want an enonomy that works for you, vote Republican. If the other 99% want to purchase their very own Congressman or Senator, see our Etsy page.

The Republican Party says many things. Some are true. And some, maybe many, Republicans are Progressive.
American constitutional government is a stone's throw from a form of fascism. Its main defenses against fascism are the limitation of government, the guaranty of individual liberty, and the sovereignty of its states. Without those defenses, even with relatively free markets, we can easily slide into a single, unitary state with unlimited power to do what it decides is the greatest good of the people. Fascism purports to do that through the power of the state in bed with and control of corporate power both working in unison to achieve the goal.
Progressives, from their beginnings in this country have professed that the Constitution is outdated, a hinderance to good government, and that government should be unshackled to do what is best for the people. They have twisted and contorted the Constitution through dubious and false "interpretations" to progressively gain more and more centralized power over governance of this nation. And if enough power is achieved, Progressives would either finally discard the Constitution, or write a new one that assures the power of a unitary state under Progressive ideology--or, maybe keep the old one and pretend they followed its precepts.
