The haunting specter of the “Donald” soils every GOP strategy, opinion and event. Despite an eroding voter base Republicans fear any opposition to Trump may cost them in 2022. The truth is that no GOP leader believes that he can be re-elected. The math tells the whole story. A big losing margin in 2020, Biden approval ratings, a surging stock market, the handling of COVID, and other factors have all convinced the leadership that following Trump is like a long walk on a short pier. Trump’s only option is a military take-over. He has a small but violent constituency in the wings awaiting a signal. He has GOP Congress people distracting us from his real activity…all the while trying to raise money for his legal defense against various charges. Need you be reminded that both Hitler and Mussolini came to power by being legally elected the first time around…and then, using that popularity, were able to persuade enough fools to support the overthrow of their duly established governments in Germany and Italy. The results were disastrous. Millions died, countries were destroyed. It took millions of dollars of aid to re-build Europe and Great Britain over many years. We need to learn that a desperate man makes desperate moves for self-preservation. The old saying “those who ignore the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them” has never been more relevant.
