Somewhere along the line, your brain made a "U" turn. Your obvious Leftist slant cannot be hidden behind false definitions, because in order to come to this massively incorrect conclusion your analysis of our founding principles must be historically void of fact and your knowledge of what it takes to preserve individual Liberty must be bereft of reason.

There can be no denial that the Progressive movement (which, like Socialism, denies individual Freedom and Liberty in favor of Group Rights and demands allegiance to the state), and the main foundation for our Rights being that they have a Divine Origin, are gifts from the Creator given us at conception (the moment of our individual creation) and cannot be taken away by government under any circumstances that do not involve the denial of those Human Rights to another, are two incompatible philosophies.

Whether you change the name to Socialism, Communism or Fascism is of little consequence to the motivation, and the uniform result of denying individual Rights and Liberty. One only has to have been alive for the past 6 or 7 decades to realize we as a people are not gaining in individual Liberty; the only area government has acceded to MORE Freedom of Choice is in allowing women to destroy the next generation, the existence of who's unalienable Human Right to exist is being violated over a million times a year. How? Geneticists have now proven that the complete DNA string of a unique individual, different from either parent, is present in the fertilized ovum - BEFORE CELL DIVISION OCCURS! New certain scientific proof of that fact should be enough to de-legitimize the practices under Roe v Wade, but all we hear is crickets.

Your arrogance denying the true origins and political sway of Fascism is rigid in its SUPPORT of Fascism through that denial. Face it. You have been worked over in our education system by those who were forced to cover up Fascism's roots in order for Democrats to hang onto power by fooling you into voting for them. The only difference is, instead of forcing people to adopt it at the point of a bayonet, Democrats have tried to do it through perverting the voting process. It amounts to the same thing as the difference between murder and suicide, the latter being voluntary.

In the 84 years spanning 1930 to 2014, the Democrat Party, which has embraced Progressivism/Socialism/Communism since Woodrow Wilson, held control of the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Presidency simultaneously for 32 years. During that same 84 year period, Republicans held control of the House, the Senate and the Presidency simultaneously for 8 years. You are not a good enough salesman or student of history to convince any thinking person or group that a political party can dominate government that decisively (300% longer) and have their policies be overridden by the minority party. If you see Fascism rearing its ugly head it is because the Democrats and the political Left want it, embrace its concepts and YOU are helping them achieve it.

Before I made this post I checked your Bio. Don't know where your from. I guess ashamed to claim your State. I am proud to be from Alabama. Yes we may not make the wages that others in "far more advanced" states do. But I've always made enough to support my family. Never had a big fancy house, a bass boat or a vacation home on the coast. We have ten acres, in the country next near house a half mile away. Let's talk about drag down. What about the poverty in Chicago, Detroit, L.A. and all these "far advanced" places. All controlled by Democrat majority. What about children going to bed wondering if they are going to be shot by some gang bangers. So, if you want to look down your nose at me just because I'm a redneck, living in a what you deem to be a backward state. That's fine, just stay off my property. And will fare warn you to stay out of my County.

Neuroscience Reveals the Differences Between Republican and Democrat Brains
February 1, 2016 | Kelly Tatera

The differences go beyond the ballot box.
It goes without saying that there are very different thought processes going on in the heads of Trump supporters versus Bernie ones, for example. Many might argue that political views are largely shaped by our environments, but it turns out that our neurobiology may significantly contribute to whether we think like Reds or Blues.
Back in 2013, a team of political scientists and neuroscientists got together to study how liberals and conservatives use different parts of the brain when making risky decisions. Their findings suggest that these brain regions can be used to predict which political party an individual prefers, and that being a Republican or Democrat truly does have an influence on how the brain functions.

The researchers looked into a previous study that measured the brain activity of volunteers playing a gambling game, but they separated the data to compare Democrats and Republicans.

Interestingly, the opposite groups didn’t differ in the risks they took, but there were striking differences in the brain activities that lit up during the decision-making process. The Democrats showed significantly greater activity in the left insula, a region associated with emotional processing as well as social and self-awareness, while the Republicans showed significantly greater activity in the right amygdala, a region that plays a role in the body’s fight-or-flight system.
This data provides evidence that Democrats and Republicans use different cognitive processes when they think about risk. In fact, the researchers say that the brain activity in these two regions alone could predict whether a person is a Democrat or a Republican with 82.9 percent accuracy — more accurate than using a model based on the political affiliations of an individual’s parents, which is only accurate about 69.5 percent of the time.
"Although genetics have been shown to contribute to differences in political ideology and strength of party politics, the portion of variation in political affiliation explained by activity in the amygdala and insula is significantly larger,” said Dr. Darren Schreiber, a researcher in neuropolitics, “suggesting that affiliating with a political party and engaging in a partisan environment may alter the brain, above and beyond the effect of heredity."
Other research looked at the psychological differences between Republicans and Democrats, finding fundamental differences between things like morals and fears.
“Conservatism, apparently, helps to protect people against some of the natural difficulties of living,” says social psychologist Paul Nail of the University of Central Arkansas. “The fact is we don't live in a completely safe world. Things can and do go wrong. But if I can impose this order on it by my worldview, I can keep my anxiety to a manageable level.”
According to Nail’s research, people of all political persuasions became more conservative in the weeks after September 11, 2001, showing that fear can play a role in driving Republican views.

Interestingly, in another experiment, psychologists reframed climate change as “a threat to the American way of life” and talked up environmental actions as patriotic. The findings showed that the study volunteers who displayed typical conservative traits were much more likely to sign petitions about preventing oil spills and protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge after the issue was spun in such a way.
When it comes to morals, research has found that conservatives are much less likely to budge than liberals. In a 2009 study, over 8,000 people were presented with a series of hypothetical actions, like kicking a dog in the head, cursing at their parents to their faces, or receiving a blood transfusion from a child molester. Participants were asked how much money they would need to receive in order to do those deeds — $10? $100,000? More?
The results showed that the liberals were reluctant to harm a living thing or act unfairly — even for $1 million — but they were more willing to betray group loyalty and disrespect authority for cash. Conservatives, on the other hand, were less willing to compromise on any of the moral categories.
On a surface level, it’s obvious that Republicans and Democrats are different in many ways, but it’s intriguing to delve into the psychology and neuroscience of these differences —
