FACISM 101 is to do exactly that! Record everything and write down what used to be normal as they make new Norms for a Christofacist Regime

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Republicans need to go on record supporting a child rapist who’s now murdered around 20 people, that we know of. The the SC needs to be forced to support it all, or call it what it is - cold blooded murder.

Thx for confirming my hypothesis. The Trump regime has & will continue to ignore the courts.
