Remember when we were surprised when a political figure accidentally shot a guy in the face?
Now we have the GOP puking up a House candidate accused of assault and reports have notorious goon Corey Lewandowski being rehabilitated for Trump's crisis management team.
I've had a hard time accepting the term "fascist" for Trump's brand of politics, because Fascism means something specific. But every time the Trump GOP embraces political violence - or even just explains it away - we are getting close to having that term slip from the realm of hyperbole.
UPDATE: And, sure enough, the conservative wing descends quickly into the gutter. I think we can objectively describe the modern conservative movement as "Fuck all of y'all, I got mine." Modified with incessant whining over any form of taxation to provide for the common weal.
