LEST WE FORGET, REPUBLICANS WERE UN-AMERICAN LONG BEFORE TRUMP
MAGA’s last failed gasp – the moronic lawsuit that tried to argue Texas has the right to nullify the will of the people in key states that swung to President-elect Biden – was actually the culmination of the authoritarian impulse that has long been metastasizing inside the Republican party.
