Fortunately, fascists are stupid, so they are burning ballots in states that won't vote for the fascist anyway. But this is certainly an ominous development.
(I do want to acknowledge what a longtime reader said to me recently, which was very true, namely, that fascism would represent an intellectual improvement for Trump, who is a man strictly of resentments. But Trump's psychological disturbance--his narcissisim, his lack of empathy, his need for adulation--makes him an instinctive fascist, as it were.)
(Thanks to Charles Bakker for the pointer.)
UPDATE: Reader Alan Aronson writes: "The corner of Washington where the arson took place was in a Democratic area of a Republican-majority congressional district that a Democrat won last cycle in an upset" (see, e.g.). Alas, these fascists may have been more targetted in their goal.
