Rachel wrote a fantastic book that is warning us about our nation falling into fascism, into an autocracy.
15 years ago in 2009, Jim Marrs wrote a book called "The Rise of The 4th Reich." His book warned us about our nation's falling into fascism, into autocracy.
Our country is getting closer and closer to becoming the 4th Reich, to becoming a dictatorship. When I suggest that Democratic leaders can be doing more, believe me, I am not bashing them, I read Jim Marr's book, I read Rachel Maddow's book, I am scared.

(9,736 posts)We've been here before but thwarted it. THIS TIME, however, the fascists have taken over one of our political parties.

And there's the media, including social media, which is allowed to parrot all of the misinformation to lazy and ignorant voters, who may vote the fascists into power.
I'm scared, too.
