"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
-- Sinclair Lewis
Well.....NO.
About once a year, this quote pops up and people rush to utter the quote....usually in support of anti-capitalism or anti-Americana. Sinclair Lewis though.....never uttered the phrase.
I've seen it mentioned at least three times this week on Twitter, and various university graduates will utter it.....probably from their days in Professor So-V-So's class. But it's a fake quote.
This is one of the problems I have with educated and fake intellectuals today....they make up something and pretend it's just enough to be almost true, but it's fake.
