Fascist America, kinda

Yes, the United States is moving towards fascism at an accelerated pace. Well, that's what is being said at Daily Kos. Now, if you think that we should dismiss this because it's not what the mainstream left thinks, then you'd be wrong. Daily Kos supported quite a few Democratic hopefuls for Congress and, you can see why, each and every one of them lost. The Democrats and their hardcore supporters can say that Bush's domestic/foreign policies are wrong because of A, B, C, and D and we have better policies such as X, Y, and Z. Instead they say that Bush's tax policy favors the heartless and filthy rich, because of Bush we have the worst economy since the Great Depression, the Social Security privatization is going to kill old people, Bush let Osama escape from Tora Bora, Bush created a quagmire in Iraq, our soldiers are occupiers, the torture chambers in Iraq are now under U.S. management, the Iraq war was about OILLL, fake turkey, and of course Bush = Hitler. More than 90% of the Democratic platform is simply DEFEAT BUSH. Why would the majority of the voting population be inspired to vote for people who spew such rhetorical venom? It's sadly ironic that the Left is, increasingly and de facto, pro-fascism because of it's opposition to the Iraq war.
