        Here's video of one of the Republican terrorists promising that, when they come back, "it won't be peaceful." He's leaving through a door that says "murder the media" in graffiti. The door is being held open for him by a Capitol Police officer.pic.twitter.com/EbBVvDC5sp

        How is it that, after fighting it in a gruelling world war that cost 75 million lives, we still ignore the basic mechanisms of fascism when they manifest themselves around us? We should know by now that we need to wring its neck when it's still an infant. It scares me sometimes.
