Babylon 5 predicted a fascist takeover
I shared this as a reply elsewhere, but I felt it deserved to be posted here. Fascists are predictable, and the show did a good job of showing it happening. Popularly elected President Santiago was killed when his ship was blown up returning from visiting the colonies. His VP took over and immediately cracked down on colony separatists who were officially blamed for the bombing. By the time of this episode, he had everything the way he wanted, so why risk a free press which might turn against you?
Of course that meant ISN would be back pretending to be free.
