When Fascism Finally Came to America

When I was in university I used to bore and no doubt depress my friends, by frequently and confidently predicting that fascism was coming to America.

And that it would be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross, as Sinclair Lewis said it would in his 1935 novel It Can't Happen Here.

Until I found out that Lewis never said that. 

And then when I survived the Bush regime, unlike about a million others. And religious fanatics like Jerry Falwell hit the ground hit the ground with a sickening thud, that was music to my ears, I began to think I was lucky, and that we were safe eh?

But of course, as we all know, we weren't lucky, and now nobody is safe.

The Day Donald Trump Went Full Fascist

It's hard to find a pattern in anything Donald Trump does. He's here, he's there, he's everywhere, he's out of his mind, he's making it up as he goes along.

But ever since that Nazi party in Charlottesville, a clear pattern is emerging, and it couldn't be more disturbing.

Trump has always been loud and vulgar, a bigot and a bully.

But now he is going full fascist.
