What does genocide have to do with fascism? Your thinking of the holocaust.

Fascism is an authoritarian governing ideology that involves nationalism, statism, militarism, corporatism, populism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, racism and opposition to economic and political liberalism. Almost all of those fit with modern day america...The only thing left is to go further down the road of totalitarianism, which is happening every day. How many of those concepts have we seen expand throughout the two Bush's reigns, and how many of their antithesis have we seen repressed?

As someone mentioned, bush's grandfather likely wasn't talking about the genocide of the nazis because he wouldn't have known much about it at the time (though I'm sure he would have liked the idea when he did hear about it). He's talking about the ideology...the ideology of oppression.

One could say it exists EVERYWHERE. Fascism is a modern and progressive ideology, not "ancient" and conservative.
