If you don't think this is fascism, well, you're very wrong.

"Yeah! Fuck them! Kill 'em. Yeah!" - current employee of the Department of Justice, urging violent protesters to kill law enforcement officers at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 

The linked above NPR article notes, "a Department of Justice spokesperson said in a statement, 'Jared Wise is a valued member of the Justice Department and we appreciate his contributions to our team.'" 

Future historians will look at this like our version of the Beer Hall Putsch. But at least Hitler went to jail for it, although briefly. The Holocaust Encyclopedia states that "despite its failure, the leaders ultimately redefined the putsch as a heroic effort to save the nation." Kind of like calling the insurrectionists political prisoners then pardoning all of them and purging the DOJ and FBI of anyone who held them accountable for their attempted coup. 

Wise was being prosecuted by the DOJ until Orange Nero, Kim-Jong Trump had the case dismissed. And now, of course, he has a position in the DOJ where he very clearly has a conflict of interest: "According to email records from multiple sources viewed by NPR, Wise holds the title of senior adviser in the office of the deputy attorney general and has been working on internal reviews of alleged 'weaponization' of law enforcement." Yes, who better to investigate weaponization of law enforcement than someone who was unfairly prosecuted for merely storming the US capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history and encouraging rioting members of a mob to kill police officers. The corruption never ends, it is bottom-less. 

A lot of Republican now support this - this fascism - because they think tyranny will only be imposed on people they disagree with. They're very wrong about that, also. No one is safe from any form of government where the Rule of Law is replaced with the Rule of a Leader. Who will protect them when the Leader or anyone he has delegated authority to turns on them? Not the law, it will be gone. 

As Robert Bolt put it in A Man for all Seasons 

Roper: So now you’d give the Devil benefit of law? 

More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? 

Roper: I’d cut down every law in England to do that! 

More: Oh? And, when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you – where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country’s planted thick with laws from coast to coast – man’s laws, not God’s – and, if you cut them down – and you’re just the man to do it – d’you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake. 

Substitute "not Trump's" for "not God's" and the point is the same.
