Creeping Fascism

When fascism comes calling adorned with a swastika and speaking a foreign language, most Americans are able to reject it (some, like those pictured above, embrace it). But when it comes waving the flag and carrying a cross, it is welcomed in. The creeping fascism of American politics since 1980 has distorted our political perceptions. In 2023, Richard Nixon is a Liberal. But Liberals in the U.S. abandoned their cherished values of liberty and equality FOR ALL in exchange for power. It is Liberals who have pushed me to the Left. As for the Right in this country, I have trouble taking it seriously these days--except as a threat. But Authoritarian Liberals--who do not waver in their support of a Democratic President despite his complicity in genocide--are no less serious a threat to the future of the American people and, indeed, the future of this planet. The tragedy is that they cannot see it.
