• While most reality-based municipalities wring their hands over the legality of stop-and-frisk, Arizona makes arbitrary detention based on appearance state law.
• Meanwhile, in Alabama, a right-wing candidate for governor shrouds his linguistic chauvinism under an aw-shucks "common sense" rubric.
• In Iowa, a congressional candidate advocates electronically tagging immigrants and likens them to dogs.
• And in California, police kick down the door of a blogger/journalist who received and subsequently wrote about misplaced corporate property.

Are you sure fascism can only happen in other countries?
