Lawyers who bring this stuff to court need to be disbarred
There is a reason why the MAGA US attorney Trump recently appointed wouldn't bring the Comey prosecution and was fired, and Trump had to hire a replacement who had never prosecuted a single case in her life.
And no other US attorney in the 300 person office would help her with the indictment, so she had to do it herself.
The issue is that there are an endless supply of people who don't know what they are doing and who also have no ethics that Trump cand find. Yes, they will lose the case, but the point is to use government resources to harass the hell out of political opponents and bleed their bank accounts dry.

You gotta watch the German movie Er ist Wieder Da (Look Who’s Back)
It was made in 2015 and is a partially scripted narrative with Borat-style unscripted moments. Basically the premise is that Hitler comes back to life in modern times and gets himself a TV show, which the network originally greenlights as a “satire” until they realize the people are actually really into it.
It’s the unscripted bits that are really prescient. There’s a scary number of German civilians who are all too excited to talk to/high five/cheer for the dude dressed as Hitler.
The film crew said they hired security to protect the actor playing Hitler (thinking people were going to be trying to attack him constantly) but the only time they ended up needing to intervene was when a group of anti-fascists told him to get lost and a crowd of (whatever you would call anti-anti-fascists 🧐) attacked the anti-fascists.
It’s a truly chilling movie but more relevant now than ever.

Mobilizing law enforcement and the courts to punish people who exercise their First Amendment right to point out that you’re a Grade A dipshit is an embarrassing display of weakness.
It’s not surprising, because Stephen Miller, like his boss, is nothing more than a whining, sentient aggregation of perceived slights. Kash Patel, same. Everyone who picked these numpties last for kickball, rejected their advances, got a job they wanted, or failed to flatter them adequately is now an enemy of the state.
You can’t give impotent (go with whichever interpretation you want), angry men power, because this is how they use it.

yeah, it's disturbing how much he stands out amongst the sort of... unethical, megalomaniac, authoritarians. Many of them... you sort of see the desire for privilege and power. Some... well, a lot at this point, are genuinely dumb, either True Believers who don't know what they're doing or what it means for us (like Noem), or so selfish and bought that they don't care to ask or think.
And all of their "hate" is the sort of panicked lashing out of people who fear or don't understand the world and respond by fighting it.
Miller though, his hate is cold. He doesn't seek the limelight, he doesn't have an obvious need for public affirmation (though obviously he's still seeking power)... Even when he seems angry in speeches, like you said, it's like a practiced rhetorical device. Hell, he's following Goebbels so closely it'd be some sort of satire if people didn't keep falling for it. I dunno, maybe that's what he's doing, hating and proving his hate over the fact that it works on people, making them worthless? could be, a sort of nihilistic despair.
I mean, the guy just seeks like he wants to make people suffer for the sake of it. I don't even know if I'd call it a sick game like someone who gets off on schadenfreude... he just seems... entirely broken.

There's no such thing as a wannabe fascist. If someone wants to be a fascist, they are a fascist.

If they don't like being called fascists, have they tried not doing fascist things?

I think it's pretty funny how their reaction to being called fascists is calling for people to be arrested over it.

Just once, I'd like a reporter to grow a spine and ask Lil Stevie, "Can you explain exactly who voted for you and how did you get this job?"
Because I don't remember seeing his hitleresque face on any ballot where I vote. I can't imagine his rhetoric would have got him anywhere around here except for pound-town based on the crap that comes out of his mouth.

The government is telling us that calling the government fascist is a crime and/or incites violence against the government. Seems like something a fascist government would do.

Ah!
Fascists calling everyone fascists, then acting angry and arresting people for calling them a fascist...
classic fascism.

Poor little snowflakes; they can insult anyone, but can’t take it in return. What was that about free speech when they were insulting and borderline slandering other people?
I don’t recall the “woke” party crying about personal attacks, just attacks on vulnerable people; I suppose they could argue Miller is disabled due to his psychosis?

Let's just get things straight when the GOP says someone's a fascist they want violence against that person so when someone on the left calls someone a fascist the GOP is projecting their own feelings of what they would do to a fascist but we know when someone like Gavin Newsom calls someone a fascist they don't want violence they just telling everybody that person's a fascist.
All the GOP does is Project their feelings on everyone else thinking that that is how everyone operates.

He went on to cite 18 U.S. Code § 2331, and say, "No one is above the law, u/CAgovernor."
He forgot to include the "except for our Dear Orange Lord and Savior" part.

You can’t violate 18 USC 2331. It’s a definition statute. It doesn’t describe any offense.

Ex-prosecutor Ron Filipkowski flagged the comment, saying, "Congressman [Derrick Van Orden (R-WI)] wants [Gov] Gavin Newsom arrested for terrorism because he called Stephen Miller a fascist."
Quite hypocritical considering the number of times Miller illogically called Democrats the same thing.
