For nearly eight years, I’ve tried without success to describe the radical shift that has taken place in our government. Each time I’ve approached the task, I’ve had to throw up my hands in frustration because the only model that makes sense to me is the one called fascism. But that word doesn’t go over too well in polite conversation. It evokes horrors too horrible to imagine.
