.@brotherjones_ and @Justinjpearson protested for action on guns after a school shooting in Nashville left three children and three adults dead.

The state GOP's response?

Expel them from Tennessee’s legislature.

The GOP is becoming the American fascist party.

My friends, the Republican Party is no longer committed to democracy. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-happens-when-supermajorities
Is the GOP becoming the American fascist party?

@rbreich It’s hard to separate the open fascism of today’s GOP from the tacit and understood fascism of the Reagan era.
@rbreich This may be a knee-jerk response, but remember the rhetoric from Reagan on “welfare mothers,” on guns, and what devolved into “American exceptionalism,” and consider where we are today. What’s saddest to me about this is that we had to get through 25+ years of Democrats trying to 3rd Way and framejack this whole fascist politics, making it seem legitimate and even moderate.
