Republicans in Congress are now largely maga or supplicated by maga. Just watch as moral man Mitt votes for the US version of Heinrich Muller, and the maga cheer.
Yes, these anti-social, immoral magas and their supplicants will get to bask in the "glory" of watching enemies get pilloried in public, and they'll gleefully submit their anonymous lies against their neighbors, friends, and family (looking at you ... you know who you are). Yet, never forget The Night of the Long Knives, The Great Purge, Anti-Bolshevik League incident, etc. etc.
That is, yes, ttump et al. are going to extrajudicially kill people (It. Will. Happen.); they will overtly oppress, repress, and imprison tens of thousands more (IMO, hundreds of thousands). Also, this germ-line of tyrants looks upon "their own" as the most dangerous enemy. Paranoia always dominates the mind of sociopathic tyrants. Always. This country is rapidly becoming more dangerous, FOR EVERYONE.
It's of no consolation to me, but the most dangerous place is anywhere adjacent to ttump, Patel, Hegseth, Vought, Gabbard, and Miller - downline, will be next door to all local variations of our resident mundane concern trolls and bosiders. But don't forget mundane concern trolls and bosiders, most folks see you for what you are, and the likelihood you get preemptively reported is very high - the instinct for survival is brings out the wiles.
In many ways, history is merely a cookbook, and ttump is following the oppressive and repressive despot recipe to a t. ttump is exactly the fella the founders warned against.
