I agree with your assesment Roachboy... the checks seem to be working. It is disturbing, as you point out, how appealing the current administration's position is to many. That the current admin pulls many of the same levers as more traditionally fascist state would in order to get done, what they want to do within their short mandate of four to eight years.
Just to be clear for those reading at home, the US is not currently a fascist state. But the current admin, it is being argued, has dipped into the the "fascist toolbox". I suppose it could be argued that many administrations in the past have done this as well. It's just that this current admin has done it so well (i.e. to great effect) and so consistently.
