A while ago, I discussed how too many people still haven’t really internalized that the Republican Party, which governs at the federal level, is a fascist organization. One Democrat who does understand this is Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who emphatically let Trump know that he isn’t welcome in Chicago this week in a speech. What stands out is that he understands the importance of holding the fascists accountable (boldface mine):

Finally, to the Trump administration officials who are complicit in this scheme, to the public servants who have forsaken their oath to the Constitution to serve the petty whims of an arrogant little man, to any federal official who would come to Chicago and try to incite my people into violence as a pretext for something darker and more dangerous: we are watching and we are taking names.

This country has survived darker periods than the one that we are going through right now, and eventually the pendulum will swing back, maybe even next year. Donald Trump has already shown himself to have little regard for the many acolytes that he has encouraged to commit crimes on his behalf.

You can delay justice for a time, but history shows you cannot prevent it from finding you eventually. If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me, not time or political circumstance, from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

He also knows how to get under Trump’s skin–and he did!

Your remarks about this effort over the last several weeks have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties and are not fit for the auspicious office that you occupy.

ALL HAIL THE GREAT KHAGAN OF THE MIDWAY, WEARER OF THE TWIN CROWNS OF CHICAGO AND SPRINGFIELD, THE DIVINE WHIRLWIND OF PEORIA!

Seriously, this is much better than what the House Democrats are doing. And a “Vengeance 2028” platform is likely a Democratic primary winner.
