    Eh… I feel like this guy is a good example of the difference between a traditional conservative and a fascist. They want the same things and will fight for them, but the fascist has no qualms about breaking the law to do horrible things, while the traditional conservative just wants to reshape the law to do horrible things.

    I’m glad he’s blowing a whistle, but he’s still a huge piece of shit.
