Sadly, what has Trump taught us about authoritarianism/fascism?
Lesson one - make each person submit.
What is the latest example? In the falsifying business records criminal case in the Manhattan Court, he has blatantly violated the Judge’s gag order by attacking the judge and the judge’s daughter - daring the judge to put him in jail.
The Former Guy has one trick that he knows well and has been doing since he was a small child - make others submit to his will. He’s good at it. As soon as you give in on one thing he has you on his game board, and he will push on to the next, more meaningful submission. Until - he becomes your master and all resistance has been voluntarily given up.
He violated the gag order.
First, hit him with a massive fine. Then, when he violates the gag order again -
Prison please.
