Majority of US-Republicans obviously fascistoid, to put it politely
I do have to learn a vast majority of US Republicans have officially reprimanded two internal "T-critics"- (the very idiots complete name has not and will never be mentioned here) and at the same time appropriated the very idiot's reinterpretation of the events at the so-called Storming of the Capitol.
"Justification": Being the only Republicans on the investigative committee on the so-called storming of the Capitol Cheney and Kinzinger (the very idiot's internal critics) are part of a "Democrat-led persecution [sic] of ordinary citizens [sic] who have engaged in legitimate political discourse [sic]", the resolution says.
In other words: Anyone killing someone in "God's own country" is but engaging in legitimate social discourse.
Conclusion: The majority of those "US-lawmakers" calling themselves republicans are fascists or at least fascistoid, to put it politely.
PS: US-Democrats just happen to look a tiny bit less evil.
PPS: As Hamlet might put it nowadays: "There is something rotten in the US of A."
