MAGA Fascists have become very emboldened with the arrest of Democrats....

They are happier than hogs in shit.

They would like to see every Democrat rounded up and sent to prison.

The lack of interest or the failure to hold people accountable only makes them more impassioned.

I don't know if the country is in a "constitutional" crisis but there is a crisis of some sort.

Americans are becoming scared and threatened by their government.

All of his opponents killed or sent to labor camps.

A Chinese friend of mine remembers it, his father was brilliant,
a university professor, sent to hard labor for life.
Just for being a college professor.

That is why they want to lock up/kill those who disagree with them. The very thought that their opinions are wrong puts fear in their hearts. That's why they continually lie, cheat, and steal. They are simply too weak to deal with life.

I sometimes wonder if the popularity of zombies is due to some subconscious connection Republicans have to those fictional monsters. They know that they themselves suppress all higher thinking. They also feast on the living, but they want the economy to chew up all the gristly bits for them.
