They're fully aware they're fascists and antifascist heroes like Dietrich Bonhoeffer scare the shit out of them.
I know this because I have a @artofmarza.bsky.social Mother Maria of Paris "Resist Fascism" sticker on my car and been yelled at by MAGA hats on several occassions about it.
Rep. Brandon Gill: "We particularly need the left to tone down the rhetoric ... somebody is gonna listen and believe they are the next Dietrich Bonhoeffer and act on that and that's what we're seeing here."
