At the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Keith Burris discusses the path from populism to nationalism to fascism. Though I’m not sure I agree with everything he says, I think it a timely read. Here’s a bit (emphasis added):
Reaction is the ignition and the fuel. Not conservatism, not preservation, but reaction.
And reaction often leads to wrecking balls.
That is when nationalist populism turns into something properly called fascism.
Methinks a lot of the antics of the right-wing evangelical they-call-themselves Christians fits right in with Burris’s thoughts on reaction.
