It can't happen here? It is happening here.

An answer I saw on Quora.com that basically sums it all up.
Share it far and wide.

Oh, and before anyone says, 'You're going too far' remember that in 1933 people were saying 'You're going too far. The economy is good, and those Jews are stealing from us.'

Along with sharing it on Quora.com and here.

Feel free to pass it along. In fact, the more, the merrier.

I was told that I was an alarmist, and misjudging him.

Of course, having worked in Atlantic City in the 80's, I was pretty sure I wasn't.
