Less than a week after the election

Fox and Friends host, Pete Hegseth said, when speaking of the anti-Trump protesters, "They're not pro-American liberals who are frustrated with conservatism.  They're anti-American and they want to foment chaos across our country." Those are not just throw-away words. He is saying that the people who are protesting against Donald Trump are "anti-American". He also called them "Communists", "anarchists", and "anti-Semitic".  This is an attempt to discredit American Liberalism, to take away our ability to criticize the President.  This might be a good time for a refresher from Dictionary.com:
"fascism: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism."
Are we there?  No, we're not.  And hopefully, we never will be.  But if you can't see a possible beginning in actions such as these, then I suggest you look a little closer.
