DHinMI said that an aspect of Fascism was Anti-Modernism. He also said that Bush hasn't openly embraced anti-modernism. On the 2nd point I disagree.
Bush has heavily co-opted 2 things fundamentalist church and country music.
Fundamentalist church is almost by definition anti-modern. They are all about denying the changes that have taken place in religion over time and going back to the fundamentals of their religious texts.
I'm sure we are all aware how much Bush has used country music as theme music for his campaign. What you might not be aware of is the current #4 and #2 songs in country music. As rated by Billboard.
#4 Tim McGraw - Back When
Tim McGraw is a huge star in country music. Back When is a rabidly anti-modernism song. It has only been on the charts for 14 weeks as is already song #4 and still moving up. To summarize it w/ one short clip...
We got too complicated
It's all way over-rated
I like the old and out-dated
Way of life
#2 Kenny Chesney - The Woman With You
Kenny Chesney is another big star. This song isn't rabid like Back When but it sort of jumps out at you when you look at the charts. This one is #2 its also been on the charts for only 14 weeks. A bit of a low number it shares with Back When. It comes across a little different but when you inspect it its also something of a back looking man dominated woman view. This is about a woman who had big plans and found herself happy just being married to X man. To grab a few clips for highlight.
She said the girl I was with the business degree probally wouldn't recognize me.
I was going around the bank.
I was going to run them out.
Now all I want to run is a bubble bath.
Back then you know I had this plan.
Before all of this reality set in.
...
Just when it feels like I can't make it through.
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you.
Has Bush come out and said Anti-Modern blah blah blah? No But to do so would not be Bush's way. However we can see Bush running with/on the Anti-Modern setiments of others. If you want to say Anti-Modernism is an element of Facism I will argue we have it.
