re: #276 The Ghost of a Flea

Lots of liberals go fash because they feel their normal lives have been threatened and decide “the smart thing” is to back somebody that will put the steel toe into people that scare them and/or scrape back the money being handed out to people with low SAT scores.

[stares in Patriot Act, but also in welfare job requirements, but also The War on Terror]

I think you’ve gone a bit off the rails there. Work requirements are no more fascistic than anything else having to do with being part of a society.

And the Patriot Act is authoritarian but authoritarianism is widely implemented in societies, not just fascist governments.

The War on Terror was the the typical war drums that leader like to beat. Again, not fascist.

And of the “liberals” that I know, none of them have done what you assert.

I’m not saying those people are not out there, but it has not been my experience.
