And I am too - it's just that these neo-fascists seem to be impervious to any criticism, no matter how compelling.

That's why I believe that while progressive lawmakers, lawyers, and activists will succeed in terms of impeding these goose-steppers and stopping the worst abuses, Trump and his gang will fall more by their own doing than anything else.

They'll end up being hoisted by their own petard - like Bush and his gang were.
