Fear of a fascist White House

I’m sure that Republican conservatives in the Valley don’t think fascism is a good idea. However, on the scale of political systems, if you go far enough to the right you arrive at reaction, which is the last stop before fascism.

If we really aren’t clear on the definition, we can use “Fourteen Defining Characteristics of Fascism” by Lawrence Britt. We do not want a fascist to become the president of the United States. Conservatives, please be more circumspect on this matter.
