Just ask the families of the four
police officers killed by Trump’s January 6 rioters. Or the mourning parents
of over 1,000 children Trump stole at the southern border and then trafficked
into a right-wing “Christian” adoption scam and are still missing.
Once they acquire power, fascist
dictators never relinquish it, regardless of how many people must die, how many
lives are destroyed. When they fail to hold onto power, as Hitler did when he
was arrested in the 1920s and Trump did in 2020, they fight like hell to regain
it. And once they succeed, their commitment to revenge makes them 10 times
more deadly.
Speaker Mike Johnson—who was at the
Saturday fundraiser in Florida—and his House Republicans are making the same
bet as the morbidly rich men who own them. They naïvely believe that fascist
leaders like Trump actually care about “unborn children,” budget deficits, and
Drag Queen Story Hour.
