The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

The historical record of comebacks from authoritarian implosions certainly indicates that lustration is almost the only possible path.
(The only other option is some sort of “Truth and Reconciliation” process but this requires a genuine sense of contrition, which is not forthcoming.)

I genuinely believe the only way we smash fascism is if the next Democratic administration is willing to use prosecutions and investigations in aggressive and norm-bending ways that make a lot of bien pensant legal academics extremely uncomfortable.

Many voters view the Democratic Party as weak, and elite centrists want that to mean "too feminine" because they gender strength as masculine. But people view the party as weak because it so rarely fights for the values it claims to hold.
