My opinion is that the conspiracy we are currently learning about goes so much deeper than prior examples, it’s imperative to bring final justice to bear, or we will lose the country to authoritarianism.

One example from history that feels similar to Trumpism, but gets less comparative attention right now than Watergate, is the era of McCarthyism. I need to read more about that, since it predates my cognitive awareness. Were as many Americans on board, as with Trumpism? Maybe a good topic for The Bulwark?

I'm not sure there were as many Americans on board, but for damn sure, there were not as many elected Republicans on board.

No need to hate bursting my bubble, especially if I'm wrong on the facts. I'm pretty old, and relying on memory just isn't as reliable as it used to be!

Close page and re-open often works to fix that. Also, I've found that occasionally when I've done this, when I re-opened the like had actually gone through and the icon was lit.
