My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.

On the heels of Tom Homan accepting $50k cash in a bag, Sec. Noem is now funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to an unknown LLC that hired a close ally.
This is no doubt the tip of the iceberg of rampant corruption in DHS.
Chairman Garbarino must investigate.
