A link from [livejournal.com profile] ginmar, fourteen common characteristics of fascist regimes. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause, disdain for the importance of human rights, obsession with national security ... no, none of that sounds familiar at all. *sigh*

You should read Phillip Roth's new book-The Plot Against America. It imagines what would have happened in the US if Charles Lindbergh ran for president and beat Roosevelt. A lot of interesting parallels.
