Paul Krugman: GOP would ‘cheer on’ Trump if he launched ‘a military coup’

TRUMP IS NOT ALL WE HAVE TO FEAR… HIS SUPPORTERS ARE EVERY BIT AS DANGEROUS AS TRUMP IS…

Krugman thinks that the biggest difference between Trump and Nixon is that the Republican Party of 2020 is not the same as the Republican Party that pushed Nixon out in 1974.

“Trump’s authoritarian instincts, his admiration for and envy of foreign strongmen, his desire to militarize law enforcement have long been obvious,” he writes. “These things wouldn’t matter so much, however, if the Republican Party were still the institution it was in the 1970s — a big tent with room for a variety of views, represented in the Senate by many people with real principles.”
