of fascism more tightly by the day. and i just wonder if either republicans will run as fast away from it as they can. i m not sure republicans, joe, run away from extremism of any sort nowadays. but you re right, you re seeing what about mitch mcconnell? what about other senators? what about john thune? i d guess john thune doesn t want this to be part of his legendmurkowski. susan collins. you d think they d want to condemn this. there was an awful lot of opportunities for what was called the establishment republicans, non-radical republicans, maybe just republican republicans, to say or do the right thing, on everything from debt ceilings to what you re talking about here, to impeachment votes, to january 6th votes. and i just don t see it, for the
