Bush deceptively propagandizes Democrats when he puts on a front of seeking bipartisanship and unity. In reality, the Democrats he seeks as cabinet members hail from states where Republican governors would appoint their successors. The Republican talk of unity and cooperation is a mask. Ronald Reagan is tailored to the image of a friendly fascist. It appears George W. Bush fits the image as well.
Militarism is another earmark of fascism.
Let's not forget that under Reagan, from 1981 to 1985, the Pentagon's budget doubled and the secret spending for weapons increased eightfold. Dick Cheney may plan to follow in Reagan's footsteps. Cheney, an architect of the Gulf War, claims he cares about U. S. troops. Bill Grieder bolsters Hartung's view. Antidemocratic views are another hallmark of fascism.
