On Friday’s episode of The Five 8, I outlined how the US is already a fascist state.The midterm elections comprise a referendum on how entrenched the condition is; the results of those elections will determine the course of the resistance going forward—and the future of American democracy.

What a surprise that every single state mentioned in the story on Vance’s list to “investigate” is run by Democrats. Apparently there is no fraud in Republican states.
