...I think that American society has a Messianic, millenialist tendency to fight "crusades" that will cause this nation to IMPLODE. I think that our Puritan past is at the root of it, and I think it weighs much more heavily upon the consciences of the vast majority--particularly in the "Red States" than anything inscribed in the Founders' documents. I also think American "fascism" will look, feel and tast very different from the European version but that it will be far more virulent because of its Protestant Fundamentalist "idealism." All of this is foretold in the deeply prophetic penultimate chapter of Harold Bloom's The American Religion. I'm going to make the best effort I can to get myself and those I love OUT of this debauched, heretical and perverted society as quickly as I can!
