Fascism, neo- or otherwise, isn't like an oppressive hereditary monarch. We're dealing with a mass movement. Anti-democracy, anti-rights, anti-liberal. In numerous countries, with considerable transnational solidarity. For example, this crowd wasn't reluctantly forced into it. They're ecstatic.

Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.
As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.
