know some people are saying it was always this way
There have been periods of fascism in the United States that have echoed what we are seeing today, namely the silver legion in the 30s. However, no one who has been so transparently fascist has ever been the head of state.
hope it’s just some strange psychological ploy, but it’s just too weird and informal to have a Presidential precedent.
I don’t really think it’s a ploy, moreso I think he’s just testing the waters and seeing who will stand up to his rhetoric. Anyone in the Republican party who actually tries to resist will be politically attacked or isolated.
Fascist always purify their own hierarchy of organization before making moves on others. Unfortunately, it seems our republica future is in the hands of the Republican Senate. Now we get to see if the founding fathers were correct in their hopes that the Senate would be more resistant to rampant populism.

The founding fathers were more than aware they had to put up guard rails to prevent “mob rule”, they just didn’t believe in the same guiding rules for their own class.

At some point every government relies on good will. Hard to blame the founding fathers when that breaks down.

Founding fathers couldn’t predict the question of banning TikTok would ever arise.
They didn’t think anything could replace Vine.
