Thats why many consider the country in trouble Mojo.. because people are mistaking patriotism with nationalism and don't wish to change things.
now whether or not bush is doing the right thing or wrong isn't the point of this - this could happen to anyone - but the point is, if people always take the word of the government, if they cannot realize the difference between nationalism and patriotism, then all a dictator needs is for the people to do nothing about it
you don't need to have the Holocaust or murder your political opponents to be a fascist - as stated in the original post, its different from what many would typify the fascists (well as they say, Hitler is the marker to which all other dictators / fascists are compared to, but what he did isn't always the mark of a fascist)
