History doesn’t exactly repeat itself but it rhymes. Americans chose not to listen to the pleas of former members of Trump’s first administration and knowingly elected a convicted felon to be president.

The question now is whether they will cheer when he begins to implement mass deportations, tariffs, and decides that social Security, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, and vaccines are even worth having. None of this will bring down the price of eggs or make housing more affordable. Trump has no plan to help American live better on day one.

There is a whole lot of “obedience in advance” by media moguls like Jeff Bezos (who owns the WP) that was warned of in Timothy Snyder’s “On Tyranny” that we need to wake up.
