I need therapy and advice.
No shit. I real live effing fascist. Not the neo-Nazi racist goon type but a dangerous corporatist "thrash the wheat and let the chaff fall" type of fascist... of an ilk that makes Bush and Company look like social democrats.

I have this co-worker who is this fascistic Republican working a summer job --- he is actually like a junior in pre-med at a private university -- we hit it off at first and argued all day at work about animal rights, evolution and he got more and more evil and then after work he gave me a ride home and that is when he got real evil. First he started spouting off that liberals were at war with Christmas... at this of course I laughed thinking I was in some bizarro-world but then I realized he actually believed it. It went down hill from there. I was trying to steer the conversation to the whole Republican cultural-war distraction to get people distracted from real issues, like public education, etc.... in which he launched into his views that the establishment of a "public sector" was the cause of this country's devolution (funny, he doesn't believe in evolution). Now, get this... he said that he believed greatness comes from hardship and misery, and this is his words, "we must thrash the wheat in order to separate the grain from the chaff." I was turning pale-faced by this time, we were in my driveway, I could not leave, it was like watching a car-crash... he said that our nation is doomed as long as we continue to let "lazy mothers collect checks for popping out kids" "maybe they'd stop having kids if they saw a few of them starve in front of them!" (I swear to god he said that --- he actually believed what he was saying, I know he did... he had just let it all go because he had been in passionate debate for so long) --- oh my god --- my head is spinning because of it -- he really believed it. there is more i could say but just believe he is a fascist. is he beyond help? he is going to be a MEDICAL DOCTOR!!!!! He is going to be working there all summer, what approach should I take to help me a little LESS fascisitc.
