Republicans are in control of the three branches of the federal government. It’s these Republicans—from President Trump, Senate leader Thune, House Speaker Johnson through Representatives like Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) who could take action to relieve this horror. It is the indifference of these Republicans to the suffering of non-white and non-rich human beings that allows the horror to continue. When did Republicans lose their moral conscience? Or were they born without one?
What person with an ounce of intelligence would listen to moralistic sermonizing from the same people who told us that Covid-19 would not be a problem, then told us that Clorox and hydroxychloroquine would cure it, have been convicted of sexual assault, said it would be legitimate to murder a retired Army general, told a lie that wrecked the lives of two Georgia poll workers, are congenital liars, demeaned the military service of John McCain, committed multiple adulteries, called political opponents vermin, and called women fat, ugly, Miss Piggy, bimbo, and dog?

So it’s probably illegal to fire federal workers en masse without due cause. Gee, Republicans will say. what has the rule of law got to do with us? Why, look at the pardons Trump has given convicted criminals in both his Administrations, including the criminal thugs who invaded the U.S. Capitol and brutally attacked the Capitol police, with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the U.S. Government. How much concern do Trump’s Republicans have for, say for employees of the Social Security or veterans agencies? Trump and Musk have already decimated them. The law means nothing to Republicans, like GOP U.S. Representatives from Georgia.

As many of us predicted early on: Trump is not just an authoritarian. He is a full-throated totalitarian, i.e., a replica of Adolf Hitler. The Kennedy Center under his thumb, and now the Eisenhower Library? In the name of heaven. And Republican satraps like Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) stand on their feet applauding. Republicans under Trump. Germans under Hitler. Cut from thje same cloth.
