Comedian Rob Schneider Says "We Are Sliding Very Fast Towards Fascism"

Rob Schneider

Comedian Rob Schneider, in an interview with Chris Stigall of CBS radio in Philadelphia, expressed some fears many of us have now.

Schneider said:

Democracies don’t end well. We are sliding very fast towards fascism. It’s an ugly kind of thing. There’s this kind of mob mentality that we have to be careful of.

He believes comedians are pressured toward one side of the political spectrum.  He commented:

There’s a polarization that’s happening…I do think you can look at government and go, ‘Wow, it is out of control now,’ and if you do criticize or tend to be not directly along a liberal stand, you can get murdered.  

I agree with Schneider about the slide into fascism.  Some have called the modern Democrat Party "Neo-Communist," but I believe it is more Neo-Fascist along the Mussolini model (not the Nazi model).   I have studied fascism (particularly, Jonah Goldberg's book Liberal Fascism), in order to better understand it.
