So you clearly think, based on that comment, that we already inhabit a 'fascist state.'
Fair enough, but history suggests that were your conclusion true and you to post such a notion, you'd be whisked off to the camps forthwith (as would I for similar reasons).
Look, I think we both agree that there are serious problems. I refuse (as I think you do also) to play Pollyanna simply because the current occupant of the White House has a 'D' after his or her name. I think the problem is the excessive concentration of wealth in the hands of a very small number of people. Since I argue that political power derives from wealth to a significant extent, breaking up said concentrations of wealth should have the salutary effect of providing comfort to democracy itself.
