Fascists used disruption, chaos, intimidation, and the threat of violence to take over a nation to institute an authoritarian state.
So did Nazis.
Remember the Tea Party?
J6 MAGA?
Proud Boys?
Moms for Liberty?
Screamers about groomers?1
This is classic fascist playbook.
Why are we always surprised and unprepared for the deliberate use of disruption and screamed lies?
Why are they always unfazed by our righteous indignation and why are they disrespectful of norms? Because it's an "on purpose."
I still remember a hearing when impotent polite Jerry Nadler was unwilling to immediately gavel Jim Jordan down and unprepared to shut off his microphone as Jordan deliberately continued to disrupt as a means to control the narrative and neuter Nadler. Jordan deliberately exploited Nadler's decorum as a weakness.
Marge. Boebert. Gaetz. Tuberville. Cruz.
The crossing lights are flashing. The horns are blaring. The crossing bar is coming down.
