Fascism. I see more of a push for fascism coming from republicans than democrats. People will put the blame on the democrats for some of it, too, due to things like the NDAA issue, where the blame really falls mostly on GOP officials.

Plenty of nations in western Europe that could be called socialist nations, and most of them are doing well or fine.
Oh snap, I forgot I saw something absurd today. There was a stand on the side of the road with some signs positioned around it, and some signs said "Pull over it you want to stop Obama" and I saw two signs that had Obama with a Hitler mustache shopped on his face. It is absurd. Look, I don't sing the praises for Obama, but he just ain't
that bad and he is definitely no Hitler. But sure, let's all pretend he is some evil Marxist dictator that hates Disney movies and kicks puppies. I mean, that's got to be it, I mean he is a democrat, and black, and a
moderate liberal, and he's black...yeah, he's gotta be an evil tyrant.
