“The really dangerous American fascists are not those who are hooked up directly or indirectly with the Axis.… The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information."

“With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public, but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power.” -- Vice President Henry Wallace, April 9, 1944

I found the entire article on the Wayback Machine. Except for the false prophecies about Russia and Latin America, it's a real doozy, and I think it might have finally gotten me over my last qualms about calling the GOP "fascist" (as explicitly opposed to "Nazi," for reasons I've addressed before)...

@zebratron2084 I always knew it was because of assholes who want money and power and don't really care about ideology, but that lays it out *perfectly*. fascism needs suckers at the bottom of the pile to work, and ignorance, clannishness, and jingoism breeds suckers like flies. there's a reason I called them "Trump Chumps" from the beginning. :|
