Agip - the question is what is the impact of the GQP fully normalizing and emulating his criminal behavior? If he was able to personally speed up the poisoning of the base this much in just a few years, imagine how things will be in 10 years with the party continuing to fully push the big lies and hate.
you can see how totalitarianism works
the elected members of the GOP are terrified of this one man. Not just politically, but they are afraid for their lives.
So they will aid and abet his power seizure, should Trump find a way to do it.
That's how Mao did it, that's how Stalin did it, that's how Hitler did it. Establish a culture of fear and then you can put one man in charge. Then whatever that one man says...is true.
The GOP is already halfway there. THey now have the culture of fear...they have agreed whatever Trump says is true....the only piece left is to put Trump in permanent command of the nation.
And they are trying, via voter suppression and the likely refusal of the House to accept another Dem president. Should The Rs take the House.
It's all happening by the totalitarian playbook. Line by line.
Expect more political violence pretty soon.
