In the 1980s, Zappa criticized and derided Republicans and their policies—President Ronald Reagan, the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), televangelism, and the Christian Right—and warned that the US government was in danger of becoming a "fascist theocracy.”
Frank Zappa foresaw back in 1986 what would happen if certain conditions were fulfilled. No one wanted to believe him and thought his position was ridiculous. But it went exactly that way.

This has been brewing for a looong time, even before Mr. Zappa said this. For greater understanding check out the Heather Cox

All I ever wanted was at bare minimum restoration of every good thing FDR to Reagan that Reagan fucked the majority over doing. I have no problem with any people or their voting practices. My only problem is every single time I've hoped for voting for change its DorR garbage

I'm going to have to take another look at Zappa. He's so interesting.
