    When it’s our turn, shall we just hug it out with the former ICE agents and border patrol? Just send the fascists home?

    Because if we do, they will come back. They always do. After the Civil War we just let the slave owners and the Confederates go, and they came back with the Klan and Jim Crow. After the civil rights movement we just let the Klan and their politicians go, and they came back with “tough on crime” and “states rights” and now they’re wearing masks and murdering people in the street again.

    We can’t do this anymore. When we defeat them again, and we will, we can’t let them regroup. Marx said it himself: “We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.”
