“The only response is to persuade more people to resist it,” Illing told me. “The history of democratic decline is a history of demagogues and autocrats exploiting the openness of democratic cultures to mobilize people against the very institutions that sustain democracy itself.”

Can anyone doubt that Trump’s drive to target Cheney and many other defenders of democracy constitutes an effort to mobilize precisely that threat?

Good editorial.

Trump is protected by the very democratic institutions he seeks to destroy.
 
Trump is being abused by democratic institutions which have failed.

This revolution has gotten much further than most people understand, but people are quickly now learning.

Trump is the first person in US history to persist in claiming that he won a presidential election two years after he lost. That is abuse of democratic institutions. It shows that he cares nothing for what has made America "great" - if he even understands what that means. All he cares about is himself, or more precisely his own ego.

He is the first, but if he gets away with this despicable conduct and thrives on it, he won't be the last. Will that make America great?

It was the same with Hitler as he rose to power. We know that the American Reichtards don't want to hear the comparisons, but nevertheless they are apt. Both have denigrated the free press, for one thing, calling it "fake news" and "Jew lies." #TRE45ON couldn't get rid of the First Amendment under our system. But he did a fine job sowing so much doubt that very few of his followers believe anything they see/read/hear from any sources other than the approved media outlets that endlessly praise Der Gropingfuehrer and slur the opposition. We saw the stupidity of that during the pandemic, when so many of the loons refused to believe scientists, physicians, epidemiologists, etc. and died because of it.

Fascists resent the fact that multiple sources of information exist.

"Trump also posted this on Truth Social:

I assume that with the very big Liz Cheney loss, far bigger than had ever been anticipated, the Jan. 6 Committee of political Hacks and Thugs will quickly begin the beautiful process of DISSOLUTION? This was a referendum on the never ending Witch Hunt. The people have spoken!"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/08/17/liz-cheney-loses-primary-trump-reveals-danger/

Notice Trump never disputes the truth of what the hearings revealed.

Interesting. I don't think he ever has. Maybe to do so would be to admit that he's glued to them. Plus he wants to discredit the whole thing rather than just one individual.

He also thinks that a handful of MAGATs in bumfuck Wyoming represent everyone else. Bwahahahaha!

It was profoundly ironic for Dick Cheney to criticize Trump. Cheney set the model for corruption.

They always cite "Godwin's Law," but if we don't learn from history, we're doomed to repeat it. The Hitler comparisons are absolutely accurate, and appropriate. They're eerie.
