One of the most carelessly used words in politics today is fascist. What does it mean to be fascist & what do you have to do to be considered one?  Then, I break down the definition of the word to gauge how close America is to matching it. Then, I consider a fraction of the laws and practices that have taken us to the brink of fascism & ponder the differences between what is legal and what is moral.  Finally, I appeal to two groups of people I believe can be reasoned with to stop the madness.
