Fascism is like cancer. You either have it or you don’t. Let’s check the health of the country to see what symptoms of fascism it might be experiencing.
- ruling by decree instead of legislation – ✓
- making arrests without warrants – ✓
- sentencing (deporting) without due process – ✓
- ignoring court orders – ✓
- moving against the will of the legislature (closing down Congressionally funded agencies) ✓
- coercing educational institutions to a prescribed curriculum – ✓
- freeing criminals (executive pardons) – ✓
The patient (country) is showing signs of the cancer. Like cancer, to cure the patient, the cancer needs to be eradicated. This means at a minimum, that all legislators that ascribe to the cancer must be removed from office at the next election cycle. That’s if the patient survives.
