Lil: I was reminded elsewhere of Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here, which I think is pertinent to this discussion. You'll recall that the novel is centered on a newspaper editor, Doremus Jessup, who has this epiphany as the country succumbs to fascism:
"The tyranny of this dictatorship isn't primarily the fault of Big Business, nor of the demagogues who do their dirty work. It's the fault of Doremus Jessup! Of all the conscientious, respectable, lazy-minded Doremus Jessups who have let the demagogues wriggle in, without fierce enough protest."
