He feared for his family’s safety

Another example of Trump Cult fascism is this scene during the violent attempt to overthrow the government by Republicans:

On the House floor [on Jan. 6], moments before the vote, Meijer approached a member who appeared on the verge of a breakdown. He asked his new colleague if he was okay. The member responded that he was not; that no matter his belief in the legitimacy of the election, he could no longer vote to certify the results, because he feared for his family’s safety. “Remember, this wasn’t a hypothetical. You were casting that vote after seeing with your own two eyes what some of these people are capable of,” Meijer says. “If they’re willing to come after you inside the U.S. Capitol, what will they do when you’re at home with your kids?” 

Violence is the language of fascism. It is being exposed. Where is the Attorney General? Why aren’t these people in prison?  Fascism is here. 

Our country is better than this. The Justice Department was created in1870 to stop the KKK. It needs to stop today’s versions of the KKK NOW.
