One definition of Fascism being private ownership but controlled by the state. Now thanks to Republican "leadership", The United States is now a Fascist Nation. Even in the minority, things could have been done to prevent this. Just a few months ago when a filibuster could have accomplished a lot, only two (2) Senators, with no leadership support, stood up. The House? The House has had a Republican majority for three of Obama’s five years.
Leadership in both houses have been way too cowed to even verbally oppose Obama.

Leadership in both houses have been way too cowed to even verbally oppose Obama.

I do not think they were cowed at all. The GOPe leadership believes in about 95% of the Democrat agenda. They believe they are smarter than us and they are better than us. They truely believe they have not only the brains but the right to tell us how to live our lives and that being subserviant to them.

The GOPe think they are kings and we should all be groveling at their feet begging them for any scrap they deign to toss to us. They are the scum of the Earth.
