And those facts are why I fundamentally disagree with Mother Jones’s Kevin Drum statement that “The United States Is Not About to Spiral Into Fascism and Tyranny”. Because it is going to.
The only hope that this country has is that the GOP has an internal civil war over whose dystopic vision gets to be implemented. The Christo-fascists, the Corporatists, the Neo-Cons, the Fascist-Fascists… but if they manage to hang together and create something that manages to worship both Jesus (or the horribly distorted version that the American Evangelicals actually worship) and the Almighty Immortal Corporation, then…
Well, it was a semi-decent country with high ideals while it lasted.
