V for Vendetta -- excellent movie even if I don't fully like the politics. First, I see the UK as a country less vulnerable to fascism than even the USA. The British Union of Fascists and National Socialists was recognized as a sick joke in the 1930s as the Klan wasn't in America in the 1920s. Second, I have no admiration for Guy Fawkes and his clique even if most ended up as martyrs for being hanged, drawn, and quartered. Third, terrorism is the wrong way to deal with a fascist regime. .
But it better fits America under someone whose initials are D as in deplorable, J as in Judas, and T as in tyrant... and in which FoX Propaganda Channel is the most reliable source of official ideology from the regime.
Dubya was never as bad as Trump is --except that Dubya got his war for profit, something that I consider inevitable for Trump. Will it be Cuba or Venezuela?
...if there is to be a fifty-first state, then let it be Puerto Rico.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
