This was published one year ago. Everything is, sadly, true today.
We are witnessing the American version of Stalin's cult of personality. Stalin eliminated his competitors & assumed total control of the Soviet state. From the 1930s onwards, it was Stalin who dictated the  ‘correct’ version of the history of the Communist Party.

Witnesses before the Jan6 committee testified that Trump expressed support for hanging Pence while the attack was under way. Clearly willing to subvert an election in order to hold on to the power he craves, he is now fully enabled to undermine national elections.

"With his every word and deed, Trump has given Americans reason to believe that he will seek a third term, in defiance of the Constitution. It seems abundantly clear that he will hold on to the office at any cost, including America’s ruin."

President for Life
Donald Trump is trying to amass the powers of a king.

Trump is using Border Patrol because it has expanded authority beyond ICE at and near the border, including the ability to operate without reasonable suspicion in the 100-mile "extended border zone". If the expanded authority includes tear gasing children on their way to school, what's next?
Trump's Gestapo know they are engaging in un-American conduct. Masked and heavily armed, they toss tear gas and shamefully retreat when confronted by peaceful ordinary citizens.
If Trump's federal agents are making America great, why do they wear masks? If they are defending American values, why don't they proudly identify themselves?

Like authoritarian regimes everywhere, the Trump administration reveals they're very worried about peaceful, broad-based protests all around the country.
Let us simply agree that the Constitution, the rule of law, and the division of government powers as designed by the Founders are obstacles in the way of the authoritarian, anti-democratic movement led by Donald Trump and the Republican Party, and proceed from there by all legal means.
