There is no GOP. There is a white supremacist fascist movement.

People want to live in denial of what's actually happening, or continue profiting off of it, but the numbers we're seeing, the rhetoric that's being used, the violence and antidemocratic actions, the attempted coups, this isn't just a moment or a strategy.
It's fascism.
It's fascism.
And none of this is going to get any better until people start calling it what it is and treating it like a fascist movement.
There's no "working with" these people. There's no magic word. No waiting on the next election cycle.
This is a full-scale crisis.

This is a full-scale crisis.
The GOP has no principles. No platform. All of their supposed priorities have always been political cudgels.
They are a group obsessed with consolidating power and profit while protecting white supremacy. That's all. And they will destroy every democratic institution to do it.
