Trump Supporters Should Be Careful What They Wish For

Many Republicans and independents know that Trump has serious character flaws, but support him because they think that they will be taxed less and have more power if he is elected. When that kind of thinking is sufficiently pervasive, it leads to fascists seizing power. Oligarchs who supported Putin got richer than they were before, but they lost their freedom —- their protection afforded by the rule of law, their expectation that they wouldn’t have to act a certain way to avoid premature death.
