"The actual Republican response to Trump’s sex-pest appointments has been to organize an unprompted bullying campaign against incoming Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), who is trans. Grotesque stuff."

"Claiming they have a mandate, Trump’s people have said they are launching 'a hostile takeover' of the American government 'on behalf of the American people.' But as voting numbers continue to come in, Trump’s majority has fallen below 50% of voters, meaning that more voters chose someone else than chose Trump on November 5. These results are far from being in 'mandate' territory."

"From Fascism onward, authoritarians have believed in violence as the way to move history forward and create new realities to “get things done” when other methods do not succeed. ...

Authoritarianism is the conversion of the rule of law into rule by the lawless."

"It makes perfect sense that a convicted felon and the man who sent the violent mob into the Capitol on his behalf would initiate an American autocracy. ...

Fascists believe you have to destroy to create, and Jan. 6 has already been canonized because of its violence as a foundational moment of the New Era of Trumpism. If authoritarian history is any guideline, Jan. 6 could become a holiday one day."

"Let’s pour one out for all the poor Black Republicans who gave up their dignity and pride for Trump believing it would elevate their careers. Not a single one has been picked by Trump. Senator Tim Scott even got engaged to a real-life, human woman, and so far it’s crickets. (Look at what they make you give, POC for MAGA.)"
