Don’t play into this dude’s game. You will never, ever oppose fascism in the perfectly appropriate way to please him. This is the same guy who made fun of pro-choice protesters because he thought they were overreacting since Roe would obviously never be overturned.

I’m seeing all these debates here about whether violence can be justified in some circumstances. That’s not helpful. It is beside the point. This is a battle over legitimacy and the field of that battle is public opinion. This is a flagrant abuse of power. It is a crisis entirely of the Presidents..
