Repugnacons embrace fascism

As I noted elsewhere, we cannot assume that Repugnacons did not intend the consequences of acquitting Twitler noted in the quoted article. Instead the only logical conclusion is that they wanted these consequences because their only path forward now is to fully embrace fascism, as they know they can no longer win based on principled policy. They've long ago given up on the latter.

"Trump's Republican allies have established the toppling of democratic government and the nullification of American elections as [...] political tools allowed to those that would pursue political power. [...] It will be backed by Republican lawmakers, and those same Republican lawmakers will brush aside whatever consequences the attempter may face if the attempt ends in failure. [...] This weekend saw what is perhaps the most consequential new recognition of the American fascist movement as quasi-legitimized political entity. Perhaps Trump’s Republican protectors intended such, and perhaps they did not, but the outcome will be the same."
