As the economy goes into the crapper, the right wing are organized into "brownshirts" (although I suspect they will wear flag shirts) and start intimidating the rest of us until we get a fascist style leader.

Possible; I hope not that likely.

I was looking at latest polling averages and Hillary trails Rubio and is tied with Cruz, and those are two of the most "right" candidates the Republicans could put forward. In addition to the fact that Republicans control the Senate and House (and most state governments). The idea that they are in the minority just doesn't seem realistic to me.
