C'mon, this is ancient American political/cultural kitsch. Small town,

patriotic, xenophobic, elite-hating, aggressively ordinary. It's overkill to call it fascist.

If there is a _big_ danger of economic collapse, recession and even depression from the current crisis, the result might be socialism, but there is also a danger of fascism.

Or what is the big danger right here, right now, we (the great mass majority of the People) face if these Wall street banks aren't bailed out ? Why the panic to bailout the banks to avoid liquidity freezing up or drying up if there is no danger to the well being of the vast majority ?
