George W. Bush.
To attribute fascism to William McKinley is anachronistic. McKinley was a warmonger and a corporatist, to be sure.
It's arguable that the real power between 2001 and 2006 was Karl Rove, who wielded power as the head of the Republican Party, Dubya was a weak President who did what he was told even if it was an abomination to anyone who honors truth, Constitutional precedent, and transparency. Rove operated much like a General Secretary of a Communist Party and might have wielded power indefinitely, as even the President has a two-term limit. The Party Boss is unregulated. The GOP-dominated Congress was in effect a rubberstamp outfit.
Fascism: bolshevik methods in the service of a reactionary cause.
