On target, Elly. Our 'Red Shirts' terrorizing biracial and Black towns in Reconstruction were the precursors to the 'Black Shirts' in Italy, the Brown Shirts' in Germany and the Silver Shirts in our 1930s Midwest.
I can see them being the redcaps during the next two years as the MAGA fascist cabal tries to consolidate power before the midterms. Here in Oregon, we've already seen threatening actions that have caused elected officials to resign. They will only be emboldened in the coming period.
One issue that I keep coming back to is that lack of a leftist presence or agenda in rural communities which have become the foundation of MAGA.
