The actions of Mitch McConnell in enabling the descent of the US into an autocracy will be a permanent stain on whatever legacy he leaves behind. History books will remember him as the key enabler of the constitutional mess the US now finds itself in.

The Supreme Court just moved another step closer to turning the US into an autocracy - in the same way Hitler rose to power in Germany. I am confident this is not what the Founding Fathers intended. A bunch of extreme right leaning justices just acted in their own ideological self interest.

Just a bunch of angry white cowards who want to intimidate anybody who doesn’t look like them - and do it without accountability. This was the foundation of facism in Germany in 1933.

The real question is why did a majority of Americans vote for this - when the outcome was so predictable?

We now live in a country where men without a uniform or badge, but wearing gang clothing and face masks can grab any person and take them away. Is this really our America?

For pity’s sake - the US is falling into the same trap again. After Iraq and Afghanistan there is no way to win a war against millions of people who do not share the US (and Natanyahu’s) world view. Same mistake - again that will be paid for in the lives of US servicemen

This is, for me, where the Nazi/fascist parallels work best. ‘Good’ people did nothing as the awfulness escalated because they were justifiably terrified of getting their heads kicked in or killed. It’s about comparing similar points in the process as opposed to comparing end days with early ones.

It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being *rewarded* for their ignorant delinquency.

Not sure the GOP do either. Their supine inaction in Congress allowing Trump to rule, unchallenged by Executivie Order hardly fulfils the oath every one of them took when taking office. They are promoting and enabling autocracy in the US.
