Modern Fascists Supported By Huge Masses

From Vice President Henry A. Wallace, April 9, 1944: “The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity .…They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”

Fast-forward 76 years, and things aren’t much different, except that the fascists are aided by tens of millions of undereducated people.  Yes, there are the amoral rich who simply want to subjugate the “common man,” but they’re backed up by an electorate so gullible that it came amazingly close to re-electing Donald Trump, even after all the lies, cruelty, obstruction, fraud, and incompetence.
