"I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

(more thoughts inspired by Jonah Goldberg's book Liberal Fascism)

Hillary Clinton brought a new element to liberal fascism: her belief that "the family holds children back, the state sets them free." Goldberg writes, "The one institution in America that is probably most resistant to political indoctrination is the nuclear family."

Goldberg asserts that "if there is ever a fascist takeover in America, it will come not in the form of storm troopers kicking down doors but with lawyers and social workers, saying, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

Hillary Clinton's book It Takes a Village updated the German fascist motto "everything in the State, nothing outside the State" to "everything in the village, nothing outside the village." "Again and again, Clinton beams sunshine wherever the lines between corporations, universities, churches, and government are already thin, hoping that the illumination of her gaze will cause even the shadows dividing them to disappear." However, recall Hillary's response when it was pointed out to her that her healthcare plan would destroy countless small businesses: "I can't save every undercapitalized entreprenuer in America" (which Goldberg translates as: "If they can't be part of the solution, who cares if they have problems?"
