Trump’s rapid escalation—from calling Members of Congress “traitors” to urging supporters to “focus all energy” on unfounded claims of election fraud—fits an authoritarian pattern: when power feels threatened, the response is to inflame fear, erode democratic processes, and frame dissent as criminal

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.
