Make no mistake. The GOP does not want to rule our democracy. They want to destroy it.
They have done nothing constructive to fix the economy. Instead they are relishing the political advantage of sitting back and letting banks implode when the cure for runaway inflation is simply restoring taxation of the super-rich. Instead, the GOP Congress has refused to raise the debt ceiling that will lead to a stock market and banking crash that will wipe out the wealth of the entire middle class while drying up funds small businesses need to compete with billionaire monopolies.
I can no longer stand to watch journalists interviewing MAGAs at Trump rallies. MAGAs are clueless that, like fascist movements in the past, they are being conned and manipulated to bring down their own livelihoods – even when repentant jailed insurrectionists regularly express regret that their support of Trump has ruined their lives – even when prominent antivaxxers express regret as they were dying from COVID. When the Italians finally got Woke about fascist Mussolini, they strung him up by his heels in the square, but by then their country was in shambles. Fascist Hitler committed suicide taking Germany down with him rather than surrender and save lives.
I have no doubt that Trump views 2024 as a battle to the death. He either wins or commits suicide taking the GOP down with him. Our inability to hold not merely Trump, but the entire enabling Republican party accountable is society’s dilemma. We have just become too comfortable. We do not even notice that the US poverty line is the average middle-class income in many East European countries, and the upper class of many 3rd world countries. Maybe that is our Achilles heel. I hope not.
