one doesn't spend the kind of effort they've spent without a goal.

Never credit to malice what can be explained by incompetence.

I personally believe that pretty much all democratic governments are slipping towards fascism, not because any one or any group has that as a far vision, but because all have short term goals which create the emergent long term effect of a slow slide towards fascism.

Ever bigger law enforcement in the name of "Save the Children" is a prime example. I really do think the motivation here is primarily to help, not drive America towards fascism. The secondary effect is just not something the prime movers want to bother their minds with.

That is just what the evil, power-mongering scumbags want you to think. Just because it is (probably) true most of the time does NOT mean it is always true.
