"When fascism comes to America,...

"When fascism comes to America,it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying the cross.”

As quoted in a letter to the editor of a Poughkeepsie, New York newspaper attributed the saying to Sinclair Lewis and incorrectly cited a book that does not contain the expression: 2005 June 18, Poughkeepsie Journal, Section: Letters to the Editor, Letter title: Fascism sneaks in, calls itself freedom, Letter from: Allelu Kurten, Quote Page 4A, Column 2, Poughkeepsie, New York.


Wildly and incorrectly attributed to Sinclair Lewis, but also very true.

Drumpf is a total fascist and is dragging our country in that direction as quickly as he can.

He's been a would be Hitler since 2015 when he announced his campaign. The astounding part is how many republicans can't see it and especially the republican congress. Fucking morons or they are just like him.
