    Each failure of the “legal phase of fascism” just moves the regime closer to even more extreme measures. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we see something resembling the 1979 Ba’ath Party purge before midterms.

    Edit: I really don’t understand why I’m being downvoted. Are y’all just really optimistic about fascists’ willingness to follow the law, or am I missing something?

        You think the fascists are actually gonna back down just because they’re losing court cases? I admire your optimism.

          I admire your anxiety-posting that suggests there’s nothing we can do and we’re doomed to fall into fascism.

          Ah, actually no. I do not admire that. Spreading the message of “the fascists are unbeatable” is not as good for the non-fascist cause as you might think.

            That’s not the message I intended. The message I intended was “prepare to use more than just legal tactics to beat them.”
