Re: ... the emergence of a new fascism? (4.00 / 2)
"....started for the Republicans under Barry Goldwater (1964)and it went underground but quietly expanded"

It didn't go very far underground.

Rick Perlstein's books on Goldwater, Nixon, and then Reagan will lay the whole story out for you:  Before the Storm, Nixonland, The Invisible Bridge, and Reaganland.  These authoritarian bastards have never stopped working on getting and keeping power.  They won't stop even if there beaten to a pulp by this election or any other because they know their birthright is to rule over all, arrogantly stupid as they are.
