Huey Long was elected Governor in 1928. This was during the “roaring 20s”and not the Depression that didn’t start until 1929. My point is that we should not make excuses for people voting for the likes of Huey Long, or Donald Trump. The people know exactly what they did.
The arrogant ignorance of the average trump supporter is mind boggling. The middle and lower income Republican supporters are 100% to blame. Falling for Reagan's, the government is the problem claim instead of recognizing that your right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness through the government is the only solution for the citizenry.
Autocrats have existed for 1000's of years and they will continue to pop up now and then and take power at various times and places. Will America succumb? And if so, for how long? I can't imagine we will tolerate autocracy for very long if we do succumb.
Respectfully, that's because America has an increasingly short historical memory and most folks don't remember what it was like during the Depression and WW2. They've become (euphemistically) fat and lazy and intoxicated on their own power and way too comfortable during the relative peacetime that hasn't affected the country directly. Folks screaming for 45 to get back in power and who think Russia is the best think since sliced bread will get a huge freaking wake up call as to how suffocatingly stifling that autocracy is they think they want; unfortunately it will be too little, too late...
Every American citizen needs to listen to this.
Instant click. These are super entertaining. Thank you, Atlantic.

They don't know that Trump will be gone in months, replaced by Vance and Curtis Yarvin.
