Speak for yourself, we may not be anywhere close to fascism, but I see a whole lot of hero-worship of "real americans" and not a ton of most people fitting the classic free-thinker model these days.

  Eh, focus on the trends. Artists and scientists are the first to be demonized, and that's happening to some degree -- probably not enough to be noteworthy or anymore than the domestic right in any situation demonizes them, but it's worth keeping an eye on. If it could happen in the Germany of Liebniz, Mozart and Kant then it could happen anywhere.
