We already aborted fascism a long time ago. I hope you aren't dumb enough to go for it thinking it's socialism instead. I wouldn't put it passed you at this point.
I'd tend to agree that the current conservative trend towards ignoring a problem, ignoring the science, going with living in a fantasy reality instead, is quite different from fascism, from the problems of the last crisis, and the problems with the Asian flavor of socialism as well.
But that does not mean the conservative version of reality doesn't deserve being dumped on. You don't need a label from the last crisis for it to be unacceptable.
Let me take a pew in your Church of Reality As It Is . For some reason, the Democrats lack the courage to call things by their proper name, and just mumble and shuffle. To be totally honest, it's why I'm not a Democrat myself.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
