They are not trying to bait us and they don't need any pretext. They can and will set their own Reichstag fire (as the Nazis probably did).

The idea that we can control what they do by our behavior is delusional and dangerous.

Let's not take advice from Republicans like Bill Kristol and Tim Miller.
