Excellent analysis of the GOP House Speaker fight by @AmandaMarcotte Bottom line: it's fascism. It's hard to watch mainstream media (which most people go to for news and analysis) mostly overlook or ignore what motivates them. This article does a great job explaining the dynamic and also why the Democrats are using the right strategy in not bailing them out.

Fascism? What in the world?
The speaker fight is literally about democratic ideals of letting people vote for the direction they'd like their chamber to go, not top down imposition of will, with the headline holdouts insisting on even more checks on the authority of management, even more power for the people, so to speak.
Talk of Democrats "bailing them out" papers over the larger picture where they're choosing to keep the House shut down. Some Pyrrhic victory that is.
But at least they're sticking it to the meanies, right?
