 A few perceptive folks have warned about rising fascism since the imperialist Vietnam War and police state of the 1960's. Some warned of fascism since the McCarthyist witch hunts of the 50's. FDR warned that the military-industrial corporate takeover of government was the essence of fascism in the 1940's.

  I've been saying for a year, a Trump presidency would be a great opportunity for Americans to rise up like they did in the Nixon era (1968-73) and revive what remains of their democracy.
