It looks like nothing may have happened, Kid.

Her description of what happened is almost exactly like a scene in a particular novel.

A novel written by her father, before the alleged incident.

WASH­ING­TON—The Food and Drug Ad­min­is­tra­tion au­tho­rized the emer­gency use of the drug remde­sivir in Covid-19 pa­tients af­ter re­searchers re­ported that it short­ened the re­cov­ery times in peo­ple who have fallen ill from the new coro­n­avirus.

The FDA ac­tion lim­its the use of the drug, pro­duced by Gilead Sci­ences Inc., for only through the du­ra­tion of the pan­demic, but health reg­u­la­tors could grant full ap­proval if more ben­e­fits emerge from a large study by the Na­tional In­sti­tute of Al­lergy and In­fec­tious Dis­eases and other clin­i-cal tri­als un­der way.

Just like the white supremacists in Charlottesville, no doubt.

Nascent brownshirts?
Which actually started first in Italy with Mussolini's blackshirts.

But you can certainly see the outlines of a fascist Trump brigade of thugs, armed and angry, ready to mobilize and intimidate.  Trumps has already signaled his support.  All it really takes at this point is for Trump or someone else to organize these cretins.  And the lockdowns could be the triggering excuse.

The only thing saving us from political violence might be that the cities aren't favorable territory for these potential thugs and are almost all controlled by Democrats.  But you can definitely see the outlines and shadows of how Trump fascism could work.
