Hitler.In the space of 10 years, a country went from a republic (admittedly, not a very strong one) to a fascist dictatorship, and Hitler, being a charismatic, dashing figure, won by not only thug tactics, but by popular vote!It takes more imagination to play an RPG, than it does to posit such a scenario. That's the scary part. Any country is in theory one major famine, one major depression, and one charismatic leader away from just such a scenario, fascist or stalinist-communistic. However, the human optimist in me believes that our country would not lose their minds in such a manner.But then, further discussion on this scenario takes us into the realm of flamebait, and I won't go there.Simply to say, that if our country were to lose its collective mind in such a manner, or its right to self-govern, then it's time to break out the sidearms and those war surplus grenades! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
