    Historically, violence is the only way to stop fascism. But if you want to play the fascists game of just going over the lines so you don’t respond with violence, don’t be surprised when they win. If you cant see the difference between violence to fight fascism and violence that is fascism then you’re a kind of ‘both sides’ person I don’t think has what it takes to stop fascists.

      I’m not saying it’s not necessary. It is.

      Modern Dems don’t shoot first. Something extreme has to happen but executing sitting justices is probably plan C or D. They are no doubt going to try to win and be right (as far as playing by the old rules will allow) first, and if they even try to toe the line of the dark side, it will be a Hail Mary at the last minute. Likely in the buyers remorse/lame duck period.

      Edit: Dems see it as the nuclear option that it is. Republicans see it as a bubble-hearth with no cooldown.
