I can't get over this New York Times headline saying Ron DeSantis is "building his brand" by wrecking public education in Florida. It reminds me of NYT’s first mention of Hitler in 1922, which claimed his anti-Semitism wasn’t “genuine” or “violent” but was just “bait” to attract followers. From 1922 to 2023, NYT is still covering fascists from a marketing perspective rather than a moral perspective.

There's no ideological clash in the GOP. It's just a disagreement over strategy. Some are what I call "process fascists" seizing power gradually through gerrymandering, stealing Supreme Court seats, etc. Others are "express-lane fascists" who prefer chaos and violence (Jan. 6).
