We are surely at a crossroads. Your newspaper has been as evenhanded as it knows how. You have tried to avoid labels. You have walked gingerly through the political minefield hoping to avoid explosions. We all hoped the problem would go away once the facts were known. The facts are known. It was a fair election and Biden won. It has taken a year. Trump encouraged supporters to try to overthrow the election. It failed. This does not seem to be enough for many of his supporters. Civil War is being suggested. His supporters are now financing a revolt and encouraging open rebellion. They cover their actions in a faux patriotism in the same way invaders of the Capitol waved American flags. What they are trying to initiate is a rebellion against the democratic system of the United States. They do not believe in democracy or the rule of law. They are fascists and your newspaper needs to use such a word so that everyone is aware of the danger. Fascists want a system of government that exalts nation above the individual, that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader and which forcibly suppresses any opposition. Start calling it what it is. Fascism.
