Stand-up comedian George Carlin died in 2008. However, that hasn't stopped his fans from quoting his many famous HBO specials and other TV appearances. One such Carlin quote that often receives shares online begins with the words, "When fascism comes to America ..."
In October 2022, a TikTok user posted a new video and said, "My favorite comedian in the world, George Carlin, once said, 'When fascism comes to America, it won't be wearing jackboots. It will be wrapped in the stars and stripes and carrying a Bible.'"
The TikTok user then showed a video from former U.S. President Donald Trump's rally in Robstown, Texas, which was held on Oct. 22. During Trump's remarks, he expressed his disagreement with the House committee investigating the violent protest at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. This led to a small number of Trump's supporters to begin singing the anthem. Much of the rest of the crowd soon joined in.
