Is it possible? I never play USA so i don't know. When the AI is going the fascist route even if Macarthur wins the civil war he will stay non-aligned indefinitely with ever increasing fascist support. Is this the normal way or isn't the AI playing properly?
 
There is a recent bug report about it. Tried to play fascist USA for the first time this weekend since buying this game end of last year but I was slightly going crazy as it didn't happen. Seems you need to get 4 decisions after honouring the confederacy (I and others get only 2). You can't also switch to fascism. So your stuck on non-aligned American Junta.

I think the USA fascist path and likewise the Ger AI democratic paths seems to suffer from the same issue, they don't select the party advisor so they cant get more part support. The USA one can get blocked easily early game given it's restrictions.

GER democratic path works fine if lines 369-375 are disabled in the GER alternate AI strategy file. Having those lines there makes the democratic and monarchist AI strategies both being inplemented when rolling a democratic run, putting them into conflict.

The same problem with USA communist or fascist paths. They run in parallel with the alternate democratic paths because of how the AI strategy file is written, always resulting in a democratic run even if communist or fascist is rolled. The following enable trigger should be added to alternate plan 1 and alternate plan 2 both so these aren't running when rolling fascist or communist:

Code:
NOT = {
    OR = {
        has_country_flag = USA_AI_RANDOM_FASCIST
        has_country_flag = USA_AI_RANDOM_COMMUNIST
    }
}

Doing so will make USA turn fascist or communist under default ahistorical game just fine when rolling so, though the fascist has at best an 50% chance to win the civil war (the communist always wins).

That whole thing needs a serious rework, particularly with their choice of politicians. I doubt even Douglas MacArthur's most vocal detractors would ever call him a fascist.
