This is a great summary of what's happening. It's also telling that the Republican Party stands behind this man and many even engage in similar terror. This is the same behavior behind any threat of violence and any form of violence - control. It's the same behavior we see around the world. Voting has never been more important and more necessary.
I'm watching Narcos, an old series on Netflix about Pablo Escobar, the Colombian drug lord who terrorized his country in the '80s. I cannot help noticing similarities between his narcissistic, psychopathic behavior as depicted in the film and Trump's behavior as a politician. Neither could do much without loyalty of a few morally bankrupt hired guns and a lot of willfully blind citizens. Another haunting example is provided by Hannah Arendt's 1951 book The Origins of Totalitarianism, which could be a playbook for Trump's followers. It describes in detail strategies used by Hitler and Stalin; both relied heavily on systematic lying and dissemination of nonsense in their rise to power.
