I say four:

John Adams
William McKinley
Woodrow Wilson
George W. Bush

Reagan is borderline but I'll err on the conservative side.

In what way was John Adams a fascist?

Basically the most anti-freedom legislation ever passed in the country. Plus blatantly unconstitutional.

Hardly. I can think of several more anti-freedom legislative acts. 
And if thats your sole criteria agaisnt Adams, than you ought to include at least Jefferson, Wilson, FDR, and Truman on your list.

You'd have to include FDR and Truman on that list.  McKinley wasn't a fascist.

Neither was Adams, but the actual meaning of the term and its applicability seems irrelevant to some posters.
