It’s really hard to overstate how acutely dangerous this is: All strands of the Right - leading Republicans, the media machine, the reactionary intellectual sphere, the conservative base - are openly and aggressively embracing rightwing vigilante violence.
@tzimmer_history I could be wrong but surely it's De Santis' party that keeps getting caught doing criminal acts. And I'm fairly certain the moral of the good Samaritan story is not that racist extra-judicial killings are lauded
@ronanmcd @tzimmer_history new parable just dropped: a man was having a mental crisis, and who was his neighbor? The #goodsamaritan who killed him, apparently.
