A Republican victory in November holds the very real possibility of an American fascist State.

I want to support the idealism of all the young folks who think they have the electoral muscle to push Bernie Sanders to victory in  November, but the numbers have, so far, not materialized.

In the Iowa and Maine caucus/primary Republican turnout was at record levels.  Democratic turnout was lower than it was in 2008.  Once again, the Demos like to talk, the right wing nut jobs actually turn out.

A Republican president, with a Republican Congress, will throw out Obama care, will roll back women's rights to the Dark Ages, and will hand over what remains of our economy to the corporations and robber barons.

And they won't stop there.  Now that the Koch Bros. have used their money to seize control of 3/4 of the State Houses and State Congresses, the Republicans have all they need to push through Constitutional Amendments, to even stage a Constitutional Convention.  We face the very real possibility that the right wing can impose a fascist state upon us.

Now is not the time to get snitty, or to stay home in November because your candidate did not come out on top.  I'm going to vote for whichever of these fine people get the nomination.  Our democratic republic hangs in the balance.
