Gorsuch and the Humor of Fascism

While many sources have debunked Gorsuch founding of a young Fascist Club in highschool (mentioned in a yearbook), it seems MSM analysis failed to consider what kind of person would post such a thing in jest. The behavior smacks me like putting on a clan robe or black-face in jest. Should he be asked about his "humor" and if he will stand against the creep of Autocracy and dictatorial powers in the Executive branch?

I mean there have been a lot of jokes along those lines (taking an accusation and blowing it up to the point of absurdity) over the years, from both sides of the fence.
