Let’s cut the bullshit. Every Republican that remains a Republican today is a member of a fascist party.
“States can’t do anything without the approval of the President of the United States.” Trump said it out loud yesterday and for a person like Delcolo (who fancies himself a constitutionalist) to continue to support Trump is rank dishonesty and disloyalty to American Democracy.
This is how fascist take power. They claim it. The power grabs are so brazen and bizarre that they are disarming to the opposition. But for the supporters, like Delcollo, they are clarifying moments.
They mark the forks in the road, the moment that will be reflected upon in the future. The day they finally stood up for their country, or laid aside pretense and joined the fascist in full.
“When somebody’s the President of the United States, the authority is total. And that’s the way it’s gotta be. It’s total. And the governors know that.”
Good for CNN’s Kaitlan Collins followed up and said, “You said when someone is president of the United States their authority is total. That is not true. Who told you that?”
