8. It's definitely fascism now.

Can't put lipstick on this pig any longer.

We have an illusion of democracy. Well managed by the corporations and banks. They pick our candidates, narrowing the choice between "Bad Choice A", and "Bad Choice B". It narrows the range of policy debate, and we always end up the losers.

Protest, and get beaten, gassed, pepper sprayed, and jailed. It's the New American Way.
