    This cuts to the heart of the on going debate about authoritarianism. It's not just about Trump.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/877904825073233920 …

    Everything about this law and this process makes a mockery of the idea that we are a deliberative democracy.

        Sure, but with the Gramscian caveat that epiphenomenon or super-structure is crucial in creating hegemony. Not just superficial.

        Especially because Trump is just the first one through the breach. Next demogogue will simply push further. We're frogs in a pot on a stove

        When people who are in pain don't or can't properly identify who it is that is making them suffer, conditions are ripe for authoritarianism.

        GOP Congress ran on doing what they're doing. Trump promised to protect medicaid and those with preexisting conditions. He's a bigger liar.

        No, Trump is the most vindictive person on earth. The difference is Trump wants to be adored by many. Mitch could care less if he gets his 💰
