    Stop saying authoritarian government is “trumps vision.” That makes it sound like when he’s gone, it won’t be their vision.

    Authoritarian government and total control over the people has always been the GOP’s goal. They say “freedom,” but they mean freedom for the 1% to get rich.

      I think Trump sped it up, but the same people hiding in their snake holes were working on getting here for years. When Trump goes, they all need to go with him, or they’ll just anoint someone else.

      Yeah, this isn’t some single guy that started it all or perpetuating it on his own.

      Trump is just the leader because he says the terrible parts out loud while the rest of the party has been sneak it in through less obvious propaganda for decades. He only got that position because the whole party is in agreement and a significant portion of the public was already on board.
