Part of maga's regression is the whole "alpha male" might-makes-right thing. The sad answer to your question is that's where they are taking us. To a place where laws don't matter, only who is strong enough to get their way. It's been clear in the rightwing culture for years and years now.
Here's the list from that second article. Article goes into detail for each.
Neither was elected by a majority. (not relevant now this was 2019 - but if you are trying to pick these apart one by one instead of looking at the picture they paint, you are still doing it wrong)
Both found direct communication channels to their base.
Both blame others and divide on racial lines.
Both relentlessly demonize opponents.
They unceasingly attack objective truth.
They relentlessly attack mainstream media.
Their attacks on truth include science.
Their lies blur reality--and supporters spread them.
Both orchestrated mass rallies to show status.
They embrace extreme nationalism.
Both made closing borders a centerpiece.
They embraced mass detention and deportations.
Both used borders to protect selected industries.
They cemented their rule by enriching elites.
Both rejected international norms.
They attack domestic democratic processes.
Both attack the judiciary and rule of law.
Both glorify the military and demand loyalty oaths.
They proclaim unchecked power.
Both relegate women to subordinate roles.
Though if you can't see it for yourself by now you aren't paying attention or don't want to see it.
Judge people on action, but don’t fucking label half your country as evil. Many of them have been spoonfed lies like religion since birth.
Can we skip right to the part where we show them films of the atrocities they voted for (precursors for many of which area already in today's headlines) or do we have to wait for all those atrocities to happen first?
Well somehow I clicked delete instead of edit on my reply of a minute ago.
What I said was - No, I think you are being given crumbs to get you to embrace fascism, and I think it's working.
But then what I attempted to edit it to add was - and before you say it, the crumbs aren't the people. The crumbs are the brief pause so Trump can use the political power he gains to cement himself. Then he will let Netanyahu off the leash and it's not going to stop this time. That's my prediction.
And yet they are doing so.
Plonk.
