Hi DONTCRYFORME et. al.
I read your post with interest and would like to attempt to try and answer.
America has gone through the “gradual political process” and is where it is today because of it, not inspite of it. It is time for change
In 1861-1865 the U.S. fought a civil war. (The outcome required radical change).
Out of the ashes of that war, arose a dream. That dream is what America needs today. It did not take on Fascist ideals. It adopted Patriotic ideals.
The forefathers of America were not comparable to Hirohito, Stalin, Mussolini, Pinochet or Chavez, despots all, imo.
The forefathers were true Patriots.
Good Luck to all!
