It may be that Americans are slow to fascism.  They accept the slow
gnawing away at liberties (ironically, through the "weapon" of the first
amendment, among others); they don't notice that their children are worse
off than they were, and that they are worse off than their parents.  It
only took Hilter 13 years before he became established.

I sometimes wonder if Obama would have allowed more chipping away of
liberties if there had been another terrorist attack, and whether he
would've become our "dear leader" himself.  Perhaps we only recognize
these problems in Trump because he is a megalomaniac and a narcissist.
