in the old days we would say that all governments and societies were like a pendulum and that when they swung too far in either direction they would reverse and go back to the other extreme, or at least approach the other. However the pendulum appears to be stuck on the left side.
I see a similar situation in my world but I have to move forward and do good things and right things in my world and in essence return evil with good.
Who knows for sure what is coming down the road but it is tyranny, it is 1933 in Germany repeating itself.
We need to get business and government out of the same bed.
I don’t think accepting angry and powerful words against liberals, Democrats, Obama etc. is a substitute for meaningful conservative action. We need to see a new political party to remind Republicans that if they stay on their current cave in course and pick liberal candidates, our votes go elsewhere.
It has to be a positive party that supports all little people and small business, our Constitution and its freedoms attacking coroporate elites running our political system like UKIP does in the UK right now during the election campaign underway.

Yes, fascism is a good description for it. At the time of America’s founding, the ecosystem of monster-businesses was inconceivable, so law and popular philosophy did not account for them. That’s how they managed to overthrow the American system while operating under color of law.
Fascism is a good description for it. At the time of America's founding, this economic model in which a small collection of monster-businesses is closely coupled with the government, such that all these entities taken together control basically everything was inconceivable, so law and popular philosophy did not account for it. We still give lip service to American ideals because they used to be alive and we don't quite know what happened to them. In the meantime the proto-fascists of the past had the opportunity to overthrow the American system while operating under color of law, and that's what they did.
