"but it doesn't change the fact that we are on the opposite end of the scale."

As the country currently is? You are very correct. But there are influential people in this country that are promoting the mindset that leads to it.

Well, if you define some way to measure it, and fascism is on one end of this scale, our distance from that point on the scale may change from year to year, but it doesn't change the fact that we are on the opposite end of the scale.

On what basis did you determine we are at the opposite end of the scale? Certainly not the scale provided by Pournelle and other political theorists.
