Fascism creeps. It does not announce itself. Just today a governor proposed a law that would allow drivers to hit and kill protesters he disagrees with and a senator put out an ad that joked(?) about "eliminating liberal scribes."
Meanwhile, the president flirts with the possibility that he will not abide the results of the election if he does not deem it legitimate, and he openly asserts that he is entitled to additional terms in office beyond those allowed by the constitution.
The president and attorney general are praising the extrajudicial killing of a suspect, making it clear that those accused of certain crimes can be subject to summary execution by the state, without trial or an attempt to arrest the suspect. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
At the same time, politicians are praising the "incredible restraint" shown by a white supremacist who travelled across state lines and murdered two individuals. They're practically salivating at the idea of right wing militants roaming the streets. thedailybeast.com/thomas-massie-…
