Teddy Wilson:
January 6 could be viewed as essentially a kind of a dry run. When a lot of people talk about that they think of something like that happening again at the Capitol, but I think what is more likely and probably even probable at this point is that that kind of activity will happen at the state level. If there are people in power and positions in power within the government that have connections to far right extremist groups that presents a real threat.

Sam Goldman:
Speaking on September 11, we note that recruiting veterans of the "forever wars" has become a goal of elements of the fascist movement. People who spent multiple years of their lives enforcing American interests in their most raw and vicious form, not simply saying "America first," but enforcing it at the barrel of a gun, bombing whole villages and cities into oblivion and demonizing whole peoples are in fact predisposed to a fascist program that foments and relies upon xenophobia, white supremacy, and patriarchy.
