I was perusing the internet today (something I haven't had time to do in a long while) and I stumbled upon this handy little guide that defined Fascism in fourteen simple characteristics. So instead of writing something about killing tools (guns) or general ignorance, I decided to draw up a comparison of what a Fascist state is like and what the modern Republican party is like.
Now before I go on, I want to get one thing clear: this is a liberal comedy/information blog written by an independent. So while I could compare this same list to the Democrats (who do line up with a few of the numbers, but not the majority of them like the GOP does), I won't. Do that yourself, you lazy fuck.
Another note: I am fully aware that this has probably been done before as the internet is a very large place. Hell, I found one that compared the fourteen points to President Obama, albeit in a not-very-serious manner.
Here's the quick foreword from the website I got these from: "Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each."
