.@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?

Tennessee offers a chilling example

@rbreich Becoming? We’re several years too late for that headline. They already are the fascist party.
@rbreich it hasn’t been for years
@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.
@rbreich The GOP dark money bosses are not committed to democracy.
@rbreich GOP should be kicked out of the government
@rbreich the Corruptlicans are a fascist authoritarian trumpie subspecies in a process of de-evolution.... I believe that they were the lead lickin babies of the past... or the descendants of them... their brains are affected by this or other similar toxins that are causing the regression from normal humans..... I have come to this conclusion for lack of any other viable alternative for the symptoms they show.

@rbreich they're more afraid of words than they are guns. Thus proving that words are more powerful.
@rbreich becoming the fascist party? They've been fascist for awhile
@rbreich Becoming? Nah. They’re already there.
Is becoming? Aren't we past that point already?
@rbreich I think by now the fascist mob is what the republicans used to be called.
@rbreich pro life Hypocrisy is that you have to give birth because they care.... until they've been born.... then they ( the children ) have to fear about being slottered by weapons designed for rapid fire and large capacity magazines because trumpie Corruptlicans suddenly care more about these weapons than human life....
@rbreich The Corruptlicans are creating a new fascist states of America agenda.... where the Corrupt racist authoritarian misogynist sexual predators can call home....
