The Nazis struggled to gain traction for most of the 1920s, but they capitalized on a financial crisis. The same can happen here, and with climate change likely to cause major disruption in the years ahead, I worry that fascists here will have a crisis they can readily exploit. Even without climate change, the growing polarization and political dysfunction can have consequences that could develop into a financial or political crisis.
Ashli Babbit got justice already. I wish more of the crowd had gotten the same. About the only thing worse than being a domestic terrorist hell bent on overthrowing democracy and murdering elected officials is being stupid enough to demand “justice” for domestic terrorists bent on overthrowing democracy and murdering elected officials.
Well, “Justice” is also receiving the punishment they deserve for violating the law, so I’m actually okay with advocating for “justice for these protestors”.
