Donald Trump s’enfonce dans le népotisme, entre immunité fiscale et compensations pour ses partisans

Un fonds d’indemnisation a été créé à l’intention des « victimes » d’une supposée « instrumentalisation politique » de la justice sous Joe Biden, dont pourraient bénéficier des alliés du président américain et des émeutiers du Capitole.

A quotation from Hannah Arendt

For the propaganda of totalitarian movements which precede and accompany totalitarian regimes is invariably as frank as it is mendacious, and would-be totalitarian rulers usually start their careers by boasting of their past crimes and carefully outlining their future ones. The Nazis were “convinced that evil-doing in our time has a morbid force of attraction,” Bolshevik assurances inside and outside Russia that they do not recognize ordinary moral standards have become a mainstay of Communist propaganda, and experience has proven time and again that the propaganda value of evil deeds and general contempt for moral standards is independent of mere self-interest, supposedly the most powerful psychological factor in politics.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
The Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)

In any other country the people would be on the streets if their leaders illegally invaded another country. Heck, there were even protests in Russia in 2021 when they invaded Ukraine, though they were quickly suppressed by Putin.

Will Americans have a similar reaction or will they collectively raise their shoulders in indifference as their leaders start yet another illegal military excursion?

A quotation from Racine

HIPPOLYTUS: Great crimes are never single, they are link’d
   To former faults. He who has once transgress’d
   May violate at last all that men hold
   Most sacred; vice, like virtue, has degrees
   Of progress; innocence was never seen
   To sink at once into the lowest depths
   Of guilt.
 
[HIPPOLYTE: Quelques crimes toujours precedent les grands crimes.
   Quiconque a pu franchir les bornes légitimes
   Peut violer enfin les droits les plus sacrés ;
   Ainsi que la vertu, le crime a ses degrés ;
   Et jamais on n’a vu la timide innocence
   Passer subitement à l’extrême licence.]

Jean Racine (1639-1699) French dramatist
Phèdre [Phædra], Act 4, sc. 2, l. 1094ff (1677-01-01) [tr. Boswell (1897)]

A quotation from Hannah Arendt

What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
On Revolution, ch. 2, sec. 5 (1963)
