    There's a meme out there that goes something along the line of "Nothing Ever Happens". This line of thinking is poison, as it doesn't take into account incrementalism. The fall into fascism isn't a single large step, it's many small steps until one day you've realized that you're no longer in the same place that you were, and that now, you're lost.

    A lot of Americans barely understand how the government actually functions.
