Via The Onion, sage political advice from the former president:

It can't happen here.

I read it in 'The Grand Wazoo'.

The Onion is a fake/comedy/joke "news" website.

Was it Dennis Miller who said Carter was such a good ex-President it's
a shame he could not have skipped to that status directly?

....Yes, Pat *knows* this. Which is why everyone who got nervous should
have realized he was posting a gag when it was obvious that the source
was The Onion.

....On a side note, there's only been one story that The Onion has
posted that was 100% factual and truthful. Considering the source
material, that's probably why they got away with it at the time:

And you fascists will be right in there with them.

Something has to fuel the cosmic expansion.

How is it fascist to oppose the cruel murder of thousands of
completely innocent people, going innocently about their daily
business, out of a clear blue sky?

When bad things like that happen, ordinary reasonable people, not
"fascists", expect to see to it that they will never happen again.

It would still be a ball to wear the Onion "Holy ****...Man Walks On
****ing Moon!" T-shirt on a NASA tour.

But they don't seem to make it any more. :-(
