From Italy, to Hungary, to Sweden, to Argentina, to Uruguay, to Chile, to so many other countries on our small planet, including, the United States of America, fascism is advancing or has won control.
To all Americans who thought "It Can't Happen Here," look around. ITS HAPPENING HERE.
I don't understand why so many are attracted to fascism. In the last century, we saw how it almost took over the world, before it was stopped. And we saw countless tens of millions of human beings die because of it. Seems far too many people can't or won't learn from history.
What at one time was America's conservative Republican Party, has been fully devoured by those who believe in, and are determined to bring about, an America ruled by fascism.
Democracy is in danger of falling world-wide, and if it happens, many, if not most of us, will spend the near future, or the rest of our lives, under the thumbs of ruthless dictators. Who would want that? Those who get to be part of and run those dictatorships. In other words, a small minority of our country's, (and the world's), population wants total control over the vast majority of humanity.
It's amazing how easily so many human beings can be conned into putting their own necks into the yoke of oppression. The bait is most often hatred of "The Other." That's called ignorance. And it's why those who seek to own us all are against educated populations.
So the bottom line is, we all have to get out and vote, (and hope that those votes get counted). But is that enough? We Americans have a core of dedicated domestic enemies. Is our dedication to democracy and our freedoms as strong as their devotion to their cause? I guess we'll find out after the upcoming elections.
But back to that headline above. I really believe that all of us must find a way to do more to ensure that human darkness does not come to full power. Those who want that power are focused, ruthless and relentless. Are we capable of prevailing?
