I can certainly see how you get your outlook about the American right by reading this kind of stuff.

In my humble opinion the danger that America will become a Fascist state is unlikely. I think the real danger is from the rise of the authoritarian Left in politics, higher education and the public sector. That combined with the violent street 'demonstrations' is the real threat to the Liberal democratic order. Richard Spencer can only dream about having that kind of political power and street muscle.
