Thank you for a very excellent post.

'is threatened by a radical, right-wing, anti-government Party that is being funded by the wealthiest people in our nation.'

It is, and that they are. You are correct about the danger and people are mostly clueless about what is happening here. So far as one response to events here in the US I already see the disinformation at work, the reframing of the message, the division of the OWS/99% movement. None of this is by accident and it sadly seems business as usual.
