    It’s exactly the kind of ethics the GOP wants from their kingpins when they subvert democracy: the capacity to react murderously to disobedience.

      I think you broke the code yes. I think it’s moderately likely that “get your hands dirty” will become a phrase we hear again in the somewhat-near future as shit gets more and more real leading up to the election.

      I’m not saying that at all as a good thing, just where the GOP seems to want things to be heading.
