Tennessee fascism
Tennessee Republicans are going to expel three Democratic members because of their support for pro-gun-control protestors. The first expulsion has already happened, and Rep. Jones faced it with devastating eloquence:
Wow: Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of the Dems that the GOP is trying to expel from state legislature to protesting gun violence, calls out his colleagues on the floor

This is flatly what the Republican Party is now. As we’ve said before, Trump is much more symptom than cause.
Authoritarianism dominates the GOP today. The results is autocratic government. Just look to Tennessee for an example of autocratic government at work. It is ugly. It is undemocratic, and it is unAmerican!— John W. Dean (@JohnWDean) April 6, 2023
