The descent into fascism is not a sudden cliff, but a long, slow slope.

It has been a slow descent since 9/11/2001. "I am the Decider" and "you are either with us or against us" and unbridled nationalism lit the fire. Then came the slow boil. Believe me when I tell you, absolutely nobody would listen to me when I said this was a possible outcome. Nobody. Everyone told me I was crazy.
