The GOP that helped oust Nixon in the '70s didn't just wake up one day and decide to become authoritarian. It took decades for it to begin to hold the give-and-take of a pluralistic democracy in contempt. It wanted power, and it discovered that it could not be attained /2

@mefletcher54 They control nothing else and you’re still bitter.
