I don't use the term fascism loosely.

He, like, outlines, do your homework, he outlines, you know, 10 things that need to be, all things need to be present for a fascist state to exist.

Yes, we do.

Untruth is one of the tools of fascism.

We need to be able to call a thing a thing.

Be able to say objectively, empirically, that this is happening and this is what it is.

I believe that we're all waking up and that citizens of this country are seeing very clearly what is happening, how their lives are not being made better by this regime.

And I hope that we'll register to vote and turn out in record numbers to beat the rigging that they're trying to do.

And I hope that we can get representatives in and into Congress who will fight and who understand the stakes.
