A few days ago @mrjamesob asked me if I felt vindicated bc I’ve been saying for years that they’re fascists. And I realized when I woke up this morning the answer is: I feel angry. Furious. We warned people, using historical evidence, of what was happening.


Now they’ve come out as fascists and smeared the capitol with feces and bashed a cop’s head in and tried to overturn the election and now those fuckers are calling for “unity”?!

Make no mistake: a call for unity with people who incited and took part in an insurrection against American democracy is not a call for unity, but for surrender.

Unity with fascists makes us fascist.

We don’t unite with fascists. We defeat them.

Unity keeps them in power. Unity concedes they were right. Unity suggests they had good reason for what they did.

They participated in an insurrection and an ongoing coup. They need to be removed, disqualified from ever holding office, & jailed where they have committed crimes.

They smeared our Capitol with shit, threaten to lynch members of our government - including the Vice President, a member of their own party - and you’re telling me to unite with them?

Fuck unity. Fuck the fascists. And fuck anyone who makes this argument.
