What's going on in my mind is that because the economy seems to be the next big red herring (as if Mitt Romney was going to solve everyone's problems, right?) people who are feeling the pinch of recession may choose the wrong lesser of two evils and vote in another Hitler... That's what happened in Germany when the recession was that bad. See where it led us? I'm just thinking that we don't want that sort of history to repeat itself with some new mad nutter. It feels very much like the loss of democracy and the way to instating some form of fascism. I heard about twenty years ago that America was sinking into corporate fascism... Wake up America!
Also, "Wake up X!" is also overused as a rally cry of desperation.
Normally used by conspiracy theorists: "Wake up Sheeple!"
Just a few hopefully helpful bits of information.
