Only if the progressives would write, call, etc like the wingnuts do...until then, no.

2. Heck no
even back in the late 60s, when anti war protests heated up, the word was that it would be far more likely that the US would become a fascist state before it ever became even a socialist one. Prediction has, sadly, come true.

4. Yes!
We are far too cynical and apocalyptic here.
Conservatism is just about out of fuel, and Liberalism is undergoing a major renovation. Given fifty years of even semi-intelligent governance, America can re-emerge as the main engine of social progress.
We will look back on these days fondly, when Barak, Hillary and John took our hand and started us down this road.

Well they already feel like they are oppressed...they just want a form of government that verifies their feelings.

I'm still waiting on the explanation of how we are a fascist state.

Cuba is a paradise and the only reason it's the way it is is because of greedy Capitalist pigs in Amerikkka. /DUmmie. :-)

Freedom for individuals is oppression for the masses. Reconcile that one in your head. :)
