2. I think you've answered your own question...

...they would turn America into a fascist state. Fortunately, they're not in the majority -- but then again, the Nazis in Germany weren't either. Everyone just went along because they provided "strong leadership". Increasingly, the national dialogue is driven by emotion and emotional issues, which is just want they want. Critical thinking is derided as "weak", as college is priced out of the reach of the middle class.

Pretty bleak picture, but I find very little to be optimistic about, unfortunately.
