    To paraphrase Marco Rubio, “Let’s dispel with the notion that [these fascists] don’t know what they’re doing. [They] know exactly what they’re doing.”

    We like to think they’re dumb Bible-thumping hicks, when the people doing this are well-connected Ivy League graduates who have been planning this destruction for half a century now. They know words mean fuck all, they know rules mean fuck all, they know all that matters is exercising power, and the sooner Democrats wake up to the fact that they aren’t playing the same game, the sooner they can fight.

    I mean, they won’t, because best case that would involve growing a spine, worst case they have similar interests (benefit the wealthiest and most powerful), but it’s nice to imagine.
