Hartmann: Fascism's grip tightens

From his post today:

"There’s no sugarcoating the truth: As fascism‘s grip tightens under Trump and the GOP, America’s government no longer operates as a constitutional republic. The ostensible oaths to 'support and defend the Constitution' are hollow, a ghost script read aloud while the regime marches America toward authoritarian collapse in the mode of Russia and Hungary."

"The Republicans never waited for fairness: democrats have to fight fire with fire. When they go low, we mustn’t go high: we must fight ferociously, methodically, and effectively. Like the soldiers who landed on Normandy Beach and burned swastikas, we must disrupt, dismantle, and hold accountable every authoritarian ambition."

"The rupture is real, and it’s here, now. There will be no more subtle signals. It’s confrontation or collapse. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light they are trying to force upon us."
