I remember watching Hedges making the rounds to promote this book, American Fascist, a few years ago. If the previous Hedges video I shared annoyed you two weeks ago, this one will infuriate you. It greatly annoyed me. I still think that watching things with which you disagree is an important step to understand what is going on.
But he does make an interesting point. Looking at a lot of Republicans, with their combination of bellicose war views and overt pseudo-piety, I have to agree with Sinclair Lewis:
”When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
From my perspective we are already there, look at the Patriot Act, but the fascism may become overt rather than hidden.
