‘Was Goebbels unavailable?’: ABC blasted for ‘normalizing fascism’ by putting Sean Spicer on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ — David Badash

I am purposefully avoiding overtly political stuff now that we are in the throes of another campaign.

However, when one faction of the country sees the other faction as fascist and names it, political discourse has descended about as far as it can go in that direction other than upping the amps.

The opposite extreme when one side sees the others a socialist and even communist, political discourse has descended about as far as it can go in that direction other than upping the amps.

This is a political issue that is being reflected in societal problems that have wide-ranging impact on social, political and economic life.

At the extreme, this will surface as the campaign being represented as between Hitler and Stalin.

Good grief: have Americans only just started calling each other "fascist"? Americans are a bit slow off the mark: in the UK everyone has been calling everyone else fascist for years.

You think Donald Trump is stupid? You ain't seen nothing. Move to the UK: apart from the miserable weather, you'll be able to enjoy a standard of political debate that makes Trump look like a genius....:-)
