Paul did stray, which he doesn't do as persistently as you do, and I made a courtesy reply, staying on his "insurrection" track. But, as you are wont to do, you took it to another level.
On that track: Remember that Trump needs an informational vacuum, where the truth remains hidden, in order to fabricate his own reality. He has done this his whole life: with his wealth, his education, his health, his women. Any public and documented accounting of Jan. 6 spoils his M.O.
This is your standard spiel of intellectual vapor--the blowing of gas I referred to earlier in this thread.

Started to watch. He started right away throwing out labels, I guess assuming that we all agreed on what they meant--Nazism, white supremacism, far right, fascism, anti-fascism, but he admitted that "fascism" was a difficult idea to pin down and declined to definitively say what fascism is. That pretty much lost me. If he can't define Fascism, then his label "anti-fascism" loses useful meaning--giving the use of it a claim of righteousness to violence against a broad umbrella of groups by claiming that those people are "fascists" and "fascism" is bad and must forcibly be stopped, not by civil authority, but by groups of "anti-fascists."
