    blows my mind how so many republicans are helping him

    I never understood fascism until Trump came in. It works not because he gives orders, but because others *want to give him the power.

      It’s early stage and anyone that follows his orders are either fascist too or idiots. Fast-forward 10 years, if the GOP still haven’t been edged out it will be an automatic felony and mandatory jail time to disobey a President.

        I’m saying they don’t just “follow” if ordered. Fascism comes about because people want to do it. They want to give their power and support to the leader. They implement what the direction is without being given an order.

          Yeah they want a strongman. Someone who takes control and in their eyes represents their collective will.

          They don’t care if they personally do better, only that their opponents have it worse
