    To be fair, Trumpists have no idea how to actual govern, so to them, everything probably is an emergency.

      Stop being fair; fascists don’t deserve it. Their entire ideology is being unfair to you.

      They know it isn’t an emergency, they know they’re lying, and they’re doing it on purpose in order to seize power unjustly. Their disinformation must be opposed at every turn and they must be given no quarter.

        I agree with you. Outside of sarcasm, I’m tempted to apply this version of the word:

        “We’ll give you a fair trial, followed by a first-class hanging.” –Sheriff Cobb in Silverado

        I don’t think violence is really the right answer to this mess, but I have to keep telling myself that. The hardest thing about facing down awful and destructive people isn’t winning, it’s not becoming them in the process.
