Coming from Democrats, of course. I'm not taking about calling someone their biological gender and getting labeled a "Nazi", I'm talking about genuine fascism.
After Sending State Police To Round Up GOP Lawmakers, OR Governor Shuts Down Capitol Over Protests
Once again, GOP lawmakers have walked out of the legislature, denying progressives a quorum to cram whatever they want down Oregon’s throat.
That led to Gov. Kate Brown to order the state police to round them up. Now, I haven’t been able to find a law that requires them to be present for a vote if they don’t wish to be. In other words, Brown is using the police in an act of violence against Republican legislators who are trying to prevent what they see as detrimental legislation from being passed.
In response, one lawmaker issued a warning of his own.
Some have argued that the comments were out of line, and while they certainly weren’t helpful, let’s also keep in mind that Brown is using armed agents of the state to try to force individuals to do something against their will. That’s arguably an act of violence all on its own, and Boquist is warning that he’ll act in self-defense.
Right-leaning groups have offered to escort GOP lawmakers and serve as bodyguards.
Others planned on protesting at the state capitol. Those two things are too closely related for Brown’s comfort.
I hate to break it to Brown, but they have a right to protest their government too.
So let me get this straight, she's sending police to arrest and false imprison her political enemies. Make no mistake, sending armed police to round up law makers by force is something only an extreme fascist would do. Private militias would have every legal right to protect Republican lawmakers from politically motivated false arrest and imprisonment.
Sound like a real powder keg in OR, and in the loony-bin that is Democrat run Whitelandia may be the canary in the coal mine.

“Send bachelors and come heavily armed,” Sen. Brian Boquist, a Republican from Dallas, said late Wednesday as the prospect of a walkout loomed. “I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It’s just that simple.”

The Oregon Capitol will be closed Saturday due to a “possible militia threat” from right-wing protesters as a walkout by Republican lawmakers over landmark climate change legislation drags on.
…
Right-wing groups posted their support for the GOP lawmakers Friday on social media — in one instance offering to provide escorts to them should the state police come for them.
A group of local Republicans were set to protest inside the Capitol on Saturday when lawmakers were present, and anti-government groups threatened to join, prompting the statehouse shutdown.
