Donald Trump’s Republican Party is an authoritarian project. And for the time being, there is no form of Republican politics that is consistent with democracy. jonathanchait writes

In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s bid to secure an unelected second term, his former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, in an extensive interview with Tim Alberta, registered her disgust: “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.” According to Haley’s self-exonerating account, Trump had changed in a way she failed to anticipate.

Kagan’s provocation irritated his former allies because it closed off any pretense that Republicans engage in normal politics without endangering the republic. Five years ago, they could hyperventilate about Hillary Clinton’s email server while denying they had any connection to Trump’s already evident threat to democracy. Now, all plausible deniability is gone.

Mitt Romney, the bravest of the Republican Trump critics in the Senate, explained that he was supporting his party’s filibuster on a Democratic plan to lift the debt ceiling. “We’re not voting in any way to help raise the debt ceiling,” he told reporters. “As a group, we are all together.

Douthat’s case for complacency had several glaring flaws. First, by relying heavily on Trump’s bumbling execution of his last coup attempt, it assumed his next efforts would meet the same fate. This ignores his energetic and successful scheming to target and replace Republican officials who stood in his way. Republicans removed Liz Cheney from their leadership over her refusal to let Trump’s coup go.

jonathanchait So the way California is being run is not authoritarianism? I must confused because the state is so far from Trump it’s not even funny. It resembles more like China. Trying to understand your thought process on this one. Why not do a side by side comparison on Joe & Trump.

jonathanchait Your statement is the definition of authoritarian control. You are essentially calling for control and censorship and one party rule. Do you have such little self reflection to not see the hypocrisy?

jonathanchait Stop smoking that stuff it is making you crazy.

jonathanchait So... anyone who disagrees with you is anti-democracy... read that... This is the NYMag and Jonathan Chait declaring themselves fascists. Now nobody is surprised. They are democrat propogandists and that's what democrats are in 2021 - fascist desperate to eliminate dissent.

jonathanchait Hilarious. Keep it up, Dems will lose more and more because of comments/articles like this!

jonathanchait I always wondered why the Chinese wear masks and always thought it was the pollution. I wasn’t totally wrong, but what scares me is the history of mask use in China and how its authoritarian regime, the CCP, have weaponized masks that were originally used to maintain “good Qi”.

billybragg jonathanchait What coup, the only coups I recall were the Ds, FBI, CIA etc and their sham impeachments of Trump.

jonathanchait “conservatives like Douthat are correct that Trump is not a Hitler...” Not a Hitler *yet.* Hitler wasn’t a Hitler until after Beer Hall Putsch (January 6th Riot) & 1932 election (2024): Trump surely can become Hitlerite monster & we can sink as low as Nazis—it *can* happen here.

Olivpit jonathanchait Ppl like myself saw this coming decades ago. The perpetrator is McConnell Trump is just the means to the end

Biden calls for Senate to vote on debt limit increase this weekPresident Joe Biden called Monday for a Senate vote this week on raising the country's debt limit, saying opposition from Republicans could create 'a self-inflicted wound that takes our economy over a cliff.” There's only an 'alarming price-tag' on Dem initiatives, not on GOP initiatives. GOP only does tax-cuts for the rich, which is as far as their imaginations take them, and they don't care what those cost! Republican politicians are protecting their billionaire owners interests. They definitely ain’t protecting us non-billionaires Asking for greater taxes and nobody is working is how to destroy a nation and currently the Democrats are doing that.

Trump approval in Iowa poll higher than when he was presidentWhile Trump's approval in Iowa has increased since he left office, Biden's struggling in the state with an approval that's lower than Trump's historic low. From white supremacist hate group ideology to Trump's total disregard for truth and women. . . and all the way to his Covid and Climate Change denialism, where the hell did Trump followers think they were being led? Over 700.000 dead Americans. Why does it matter what Trump’s approval ratings currently are? He isn’t president and the election is three years away. Geez American women beware of Taliban Trumplicans!
