Once upon a time, the GOP proudly toted its 'small government principles.' Nowadays, though, embracing authoritarianism is their MO. And while the actions and words of the GOP have made that abundantly clear, the future of our nation under this form of leadership is not. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-authoritarian-movement-liberty-democrats
Republicans Have Ceded The High Ground On Individual Liberty To Democrats

In the era of Donald Trump, the Republican Party has been transformed into an authoritarian movement counter to their own claims of "individual liberty."

The Big Picture
@georgetakei There was a study during the Obama administration that estimated it would cost upwards of $400 billion per year to remove illegal aliens.
 Abraham Lincoln asked if the slaves could be returned to Africa, 4 million people, and the estimate concluded the migration could not keep up with their population growth.
@georgetakei Republicans get around that by declaring their toxic bog to be the high ground.
