They said it before trump was sworn in. It will be a bloodless coup of the left allows it. The options are fascism or fight.

You need 51 votes. The 60 is a self made rule they can change, just like the filibuster.
I think you're being too kind to it.

When we brought a bunch of Nazis in after WWII and installed them in positions of importance (like heading NASA by Wernher von Braun) I think we gave them a pretty reasonable argument.
Slow fascism vs fast fascism. More money to cops, more drilling, more selling public land, more building a boarder wall, more genocide, more pardons for bad people, more keeping "permanent" tax cuts for the wealthy, more inability to actually make anything better ever.
At least with fast fascism some people are fighting back, but not hard enough to stop it.
Enlightenment all of the features, gorgeous, and lightweight.
$800 million worth is giving a lot of value to something they can barely give away. Maybe $800K worth of material after the cost of dismantling.
