"[O]ne of the great unexplained phenomena of modern astronomy: namely, that the dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe." - Tom Wolfe

I've heard this paraphrased as "...descending on the Right, yet lands only on the Left".

The Left/Right dichotomy being a pleasant smokescreen for the elitist/populist friction that is simply the human experience.
