Over at my sister blog, The Musical Patriot, this morning I called the announced results of last night's election "fascism regnant." One of the reasons fascism reigns in America is big money in politics. While I have not had a chance to check the numbers, it is clear many if not most far-right Republican campaigns would not have floated downstream a half-mile were it not for big money support from well-heeled donors.
So while yesterday was a disaster for electoral politics, we shouldn't hold it against the American people as such. This does not mean the American people don't share the blame for this fiasco, just that they aren't really to blame for the wash of corporate funding polluting the money stream now.
Big Win for Big Money
