The GOP is just a tool. Democrats, not all, but enough, are tools. The media is a tool. The 'Tea Party' is a tool. All of them serving the purpose of dividing the people and whipping one 'side' to a frenzy of hatred.

It will likely be 2018, after there has been one last 'huzzah' for the economy and after we see a number of catastrophes of various kinds, that the PTB will essentially pull the trigger on fascism. I'm guessing they'll run a woman in 2017, someone loved by the rabid right, but intelligent-seeming enough to run the country. She'll win. I'm sure they're shopping around now. After whatever tragedy strikes in 2018, the media will go into overdrive blaming the 'liberals' and 'intellectuals' because those are always the greatest enemies of fascism. You can bet the wingnuts can't wait to suit up and get their jackboots on when that day comes.
