Gun violence, the scourge of America. Good on John Mellencamp for speaking out, now if a few more would, then maybe something might get done.

Franklin Roosevelt’s words of November 4, 1938, are worth recalling: “If American democracy ceases to move forward as a living force, seeking day and night by peaceful means to better the lot of our citizens, fascism will grow in strength in our land.” Freedom and liberation are an unending task. So much for telling the truth, when both True the Vote and Project Veritas have both been revealed as liars.

It's all about me, he says. Okay, this fits with the following:
Republicans want a "return to traditional family values", while all the time they are getting caught with their flies undone or in Trump's case, ignored even while his hand is dipping in the cash register as well.
Equating modernism with declining moral values in society, why abortion is bad, why immigration is wrecking the US.
Act first, then don't concern yourself with thinking about it.
Freedom of thought leads to disagreement, and that is treason to the State.
Don't be different, conform, conform in everything. Different is threatening.
Stir up the fears of people. Unemployment, loss of homes, loss of their place in society.
Talk up conspiracy, the bigger the better, the Deep State, Taylor Swift, Antifa, whatever, it is all a plot to wreck American lives.
The attack of the immigrants, taking our jobs, stealing our social welfare, often both at the same time.
Equating everything not agreeing with us as supporting the enemy. Even when praising the nation's enemies, like Putin, it is NATO who are the real enemy, sponging off US.
Abusing the weaker members of society, the economic, social, physically impaired as objects of contempt.
Using religion to support previously untenable positions on race, gender, proselytising an exclusive, racist, religious purity.
Considering equality of women, gays and trans as eroding our society

All these points are clearly red flags pointing towards fascism. Is that what the US wants to become?
