Is he effectively saying that because of one marginal vote, under dubious circumstances, that those that only those that support no-deal (which wasn't voted on) should have any power in the Nation?
Anyone who cant see fascism is already resurfacing in Italy and Germany, and rising in UK/USA due to far right governments and groups like GI and Proud Boys have their heads in the sand

The rain, it raineth every day
Deport them all to St. Helena the pricks.
It’s a long thread, but deffo worth a read.
They say that if you chuck a frog into a pan of boiling water it will jump straight out again.
But if you put it into a pot of cold water and turn on the cooker ring the frog will just sit there as it is boiled alive.
I imagine Fascism is sommat like that.
If you woke up one morning to find out Fascists have taken over you would be out protesting and doing sommat about it.
We are witnessing an incremental drift toward, if not outright Fascism, something very unpleasant in our governance.
A fruitcake populist placed in power by a handful of voters, a shadowy unelected "adviser" appearing to dictate policy and tactics, the appointment of a cabinet of right wing sycophants, pursuit of a mad policy which threatens to wreak havoc on our lives and now trying to shut down any dissenting voices by curtailing parliament.
And it seems it is just being accepted as a fait accompli by the populace.

I've said for many years that the people think fascism is the sound of jackboots going down Breck road. If they don't hear that it isn't happening...

A person who has become PM not by popular and general election but by the votes of his own elected MPs and the members of his own party, has just shut down Parliament.
That seems like the water in the pot is getting quite a bit hotter, but there is still about half of the UK electorate who are reacting like frogs and feeling warm and cosy.

Be afeared.
Kopite account.
Kopite account.
I’ve got a great idea, let’s use a voting system. Oh wait
Indeed.
That is a foolproof way of keeping the Fascists out.
Or so the Germans thought in 1932
