AH Challenge: A Fascist USA!

With a POD no earlier than 1776, make the United States a Fascist country! And no ASB stuff either! It can be a Timeline, scenario, story, whatever. And don't say stuff like "John Adams, Jefferson, Washington, etc.... were fascists" it must be plausible!

Extra points if you have this United States allied with the Axis Powers in WW2.
 
To use the cliché: Huey Long isn't killed and beomes President?

Or, somewhat more original, give the KKK in the '20s a leader who has the sense to use them politically, rather than as a fundraiser.

Another possibility is the CSA having more states as members and winning the Civil War. If the Union is threatened by the CSA in that scenario, we might see a proto-fascism.
 
Maybe a twist in the revolutionary war or the end of it (Reading from a biography, someone did suggest a monarchy government, but was turned down) resulting in a constitutional monarchy. As time progress and Depression or civil war hits, maybe a royal member decide to further expand the power of the royal in government. (If the royal family were known for great soldiers and loving for the people, it could happen)
 
I’ve got a TL I played around with for a couple of decades which has WWII starting in 1929 between the Anglo-Japanese alliance and a basically fascist America. Just wanted to avoid the disastrous Washington treaty of 1921 and get some of the big ships sunk by it completed. PODs are in early 1915 meaning the allies do better in WWI, which ends with a Central Powers defeat in late 1917. As such bitter clashes between Wilson and the western allies over the treaty, ending with the US walking out.

A period of naval and trade disputes and various economical and political clashes sees the US fall under the control of a highly racists KKK type organisation ~1926 and things rapidly decline into a murderous conflict 1929-34.
