To her credit, during an interview on CNN with Dana Bash that aired 16-Nov-25, MTG said, "I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics. It's very bad for our country."

We are witnessing the American version of Stalin's cult of personality. Stalin eliminated his competitors & assumed total control of the Soviet state. From the 1930s onwards, it was Stalin who dictated the  ‘correct’ version of the history of the Communist Party.

Witnesses before the Jan6 committee testified that Trump expressed support for hanging Pence while the attack was under way. Clearly willing to subvert an election in order to hold on to the power he craves, he is now fully enabled to undermine national elections.

Trump is using Border Patrol because it has expanded authority beyond ICE at and near the border, including the ability to operate without reasonable suspicion in the 100-mile "extended border zone". If the expanded authority includes tear gasing children on their way to school, what's next?

Trump's Gestapo know they are engaging in un-American conduct. Masked and heavily armed, they toss tear gas and shamefully retreat when confronted by peaceful ordinary citizens.

Like authoritarian regimes everywhere, the Trump administration reveals they're very worried about peaceful, broad-based protests all around the country.
