Like, it doesn’t really matter because we’ll get there eventually, but I don’t think we’re at “pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints,” specifically legal restraints. We’re still seeing legal restraints coming left and right. The judiciary continues to push back against Trump, and when enjoined, the administration does cease most of its actions.

For me, when a federal judge orders someone locked up and the US Marshals refuse, then I’ll personally be at “oh yeah, we fascist now,” because at that point, until there’s a Congressional majority that does something to restrain Trump, nothing else matters.

But does it *matter* in terms of how I am or am not engaging with the organs of the state or with other citizens at this moment?

Hell no.
