Trump's Fury Erupts in Many Directions, Unnerving Experts: "Insanity!" As Trump’s threats escalate on numerous fronts, a journalist and historian explains how the events of recent days suggest that little by little, our country really is crossing over into authoritarian and/or fascist rule. (The New Republic)
Umm, err, ahem, excuse me, but to use the term “little by little” is a bit absurd and oh, so much enabling. Trump’s actions, beginning with his first few days in office, have demonstrated his willingness to ignore the Constitution, except for the parts that provide him with Presidential powers, to become a dictator, remain in office for as long as he lives, and to turn our democracy into a fascist state. Just now we are supposed to take notice, just now, seriously!
My gut hurts with each and every new intention of authoritarian actions that Trump and his enablers take. I feel helpless and am becoming hopeless that there is anyone out there with more power or prestige than I who can stop Trump from placing the final knife in the heart of our democracy.
