A case study in the rise of authoritarianism. Sen. Lindsey Graham is a central player in the Republican party’s capitulation to Donald Trump. We can watch the GOP's turn to authoritarianism by reviewing Graham's many public statements.
This is a long read about how Graham went from a never-Trump into an all-in MAGA nut. It is a fascinating long read.
I read the whole thing and I hated every minute of it. It makes me sick to my stomach how Trump has gotten away with so much obvious illegal, unethical, and immoral stuff.
And to watch Lindsey Graham’s spine melt into the noodle it is… It’s disgusting. Imagine if he actually held his ground and continued to call him out. Imagine if he spent half of the effort he did apologizing for Trump, trying to create a group of like minded Republican leaders that could hold him to account.
And even after all of that bullshit, Jan 6th happens and he doesn’t vote to convict.
