It's sounding like the impeachment trial is becoming a rolling political - and moral - catastrophe for Republicans. They'll still vote to acquit him, they've no choice, but their whole movement will be exposed as the crypto-fascist nihilist enterprise it is.
I say "crypto-fascist", as Dave Spart-like a term as it is, because calling the GOP straightforwardly fascist always starts arguments.
But it's all there, isn't it? The flags, the racism, the ultra-nationalism, the leader worship, the promises to rescue the country from traitors and deliver a brave new era of national renewal. There aren't uniforms, but then this is a more individualistic age than the 1930s.
The "national renewal" part is key, it's what distinguishes fascism from ultra-right politics in general, and "Make America Great Again" really couldn't be much more explicit in that regard.
What you seem to be saying is that it can't be a fascist movement because it turned out to be too incompetent to implement a full fascist regime. Chinny reckon.

It's also strange you should list "curtailment of free elections", @jon_truly, since the last Republican president is, as we speak, on trial for trying to overturn the result of a free election by force.
And I think you are a smug tit, isn't life a tragedy.
