@Rarebear That’s what I was thinking. Sinclair Lewis warned, “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.” No less than Mussolini explained that “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
Look up Fascism in Wikipedia and note the parallels in demonization, union busting, corporatism, extreme nationalism, militarism, appeals to racial superiority, persecution of homosexuals and minorities, propaganda and big lies, union busting… It would be interesting to see where there are parallels.
@MyNewtBoobs Not all politicians are blowing smoke when they call political demagoguery out as drifting toward fascism. The people they say this about are often guilty of calling all liberals and progressives communists, socialists, elitists with no concern for the common people, misguided idiots, effete intellectuals who are afraid to serve their country and are unpatriotic… See what I mean.
