The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump have been unmistakably apparent for years. Anyone who has a functioning cerebral cortex will have noticed the maniacally tyrannical rhetoric that he openly excretes whenever he has an opportunity to express his rancid thoughts.

In the recent past Trump has advocated for “terminating” parts of the Constitution, herding migrants into concentration camps, accepting monetary contributions to enact legislation favorable to the contributor, suppressing the free press, and incarcerating his political opponents.

Trump’s admiration for brutal dictators such as Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un, is well known. He can’t stop lavishing them with praise, while simultaneously castigating America’s leaders, institutions, and citizens, as “vermin” who “poison the blood” of the country. Much of his bombast is closely aligned with the fascism of another one of his heroes, Adolf Hitler, whose book of speeches he kept at his bedside, according to his ex-wife Ivana.
Consequently, it is surprising to hear the Republican leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, deliver some harsh criticisms of Trump, whose hide he saved during two attempts to impeachment him. But now that McConnell is on his way out, he might be leaning a bit more toward some candid assessments of Trump. The Financial Times is reporting that…
“With [Trump] preparing to return to the White House next month, [McConnell] issues a warning from America’s past. ‘We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before world war two,’ he says. ‘Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.'”
McConnell is right. Trump’s words and deeds are frighteningly similar to those of the Nazi regime prior to World War II. And the “America First” slogan was originally used by Nazi sympathizers in the U.S. and the American Nazi Party in the the 1930’s.
None of this information is new. What’s new is that a staunchly conservative Republican icon like McConnell is the saying it this time. And that’s not all, He also told his biographer, Michael Tackett, that McConnell has called Trump “stupid” and a “despicable human being.” And, once again, that isn’t new information either to rational, thinking Americans.
McConnell’s opinion of Trump, while accurate, is coming out too late to have any positive impact on the state of current political affairs. But it is not too late for the nation to prepare for a massive campaign of resistance to Trump’s totalitarian intentions.
Trump is endeavoring to populate his administration with overtly anti-American sycophants whose loyalty is only to Trump. And he is using his gift for lying to claim a mandate that his margin of victory (1.5%) doesn’t support. He is also trying to convince the nation (and perhaps himself) that he is popular. Part of the argument will rest on his being named Time’s “Person of the Year.” However, like almost everything else, Trump doesn’t understand what that means…
