      Actually Bush Jr. (Karl Rove and Roger Stone more precisely) did do a little mini one in Florida. There’s a whole conversation to be had over the pretty-much-validity of this meme as it could have been applied to the pre-W-era Republicans and Democrats, with the 2000 election as the ushering in of the new era. The Democrats started showing some tentative signs of being 1% working-class-supporting, which was kind of nice, and the Republicans gradually but steadily went about 500% over to the Nazi side to the point that they’re currently in “kill the vice president, military seize the voting machines” full throated fascist mode, making the application of this meme at this point a wholly bad-faith effort to influence the current election and throw it to a country-destroying fascist. Any other questions?

      Ah, if they didn’t incite an insurrection they must be good little boys who brush their teeth before bed and only wish the best for the world.
