Regarding the deportation of radicals and much, much more that ought to send chills down your US historical spines, dear readers: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/american-midnight-adam-hochschild?variant=40001056014370

I enjoy your columns so much, this one no less, thanks! I must be blessed to have somehow avoided the Trumpenleft that you're referring to. I'm not doubting their existence. I wouldn't long associate with someone advocating such stupidity, so perhaps I eliminated them along the way. At any rate, I'm forewarned and I thank you!

The Democratic Party's refusal to call fascism by name is appalling, but on brand with the rest of that party's overall spineless and feckless nature. I am alarmed by the sharp eliminationist turn, and it was in one of your posts that I first read mangolini's very scary rant (thank you!). Despite all this my revolutionary optimism remains high. While fascism is fearful, fascists will have as much or more to fear from us and we should never lose sight of that as we engage them with growing confidence.
