You know what's scary? That my parents had to live through the same nationalist nightmare - on a much larger scale, of course. As of yet, as a caveat. I never would have thought to have to deal with what my ancestors had to deal with. But now it seems like a very real possibility.
I always considered the UK to be most at risk of being the one to develop a fascist government. Then I read up more on fascism and Trump started to become popular in America. I realised that America's checks and balances could be overcome and that the UK is more a feudal left-over than a fascist government. Now that I see us being dragged out of the EU, the mass slaughter of the disabled, worker's rights trampled and Michael Gove's revisionism of the 1st World War as glorious, I'm beginning to revert to think the UK is most susceptible to fascism now.
