    The USA has tried Scherffs' neo-nazism and orange fascism.

    Maybe now it's time for a change.

    "Can Bobby Kennedy Win the Presidency Now? Of Course." https://www.fairobserver.com/world-news/us-news/can-bobby-kennedy-win-the-presidency-now-of-course/#

    The first US President, George Washington in his Farewell Address:
    <begin quote>
    I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful
    effects of the spirit of party generally.

    This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular
    form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.

    The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at
    length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more
    able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.

    The second US President, John Adams, in 1780:
    "There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This in my opinion is to be dreaded as the greatest evil under our
    Constitution."
