A US Senator was thrown to the ground and handcuffed by federal agents, and then the DHS Secretary went on to say that they are taking control from the "socialist" local government. That is fascist, there is no other proper word for it than that. No euphemisms are necessary or warranted.

It’s really horrifying how many people are so furious that they cannot afford a $1M condo (that they totally are owed because they’re the right kind of people with fancy jobs!) feel they are 100% morally right to throw poor people out on the street so they can get their condo for $850K.
