It would have been better if it's rise was blunted. Militantism, and police state are like cancers on civil liberty.
But in an age when fear of the bomb can be used to cow any large group of normally unconcerned citizens, how do you assauge their fears. But are the best acts as a anti-fascist organization, or as an individual to prevent the cultural rise of fear. |

1) recognize this as the calm before the next storm
2) lower the volume by getting rid of the desperation
3) find incidents where people can get used to taking action and succeeding
4) watch the tide change
oh and whenever a troll posts thank them for giving you an opportunity to post some more |

We can thank the Right Wing for that...
I would propose that "people" or at least the well-informed intellects are as hardened as ever againts the Rightist/Authoritarian government that we have seen progress into government.
Damn it, I hope the Democrats can get it together long enough to Fight the Right.... |

as for religious backing he actually does have a lot of religious backers
