Lisa Murkowski reveals the ugly nature of Trump's rule
It's not about persuasion. It's about fear.
Watch the video...
Murkowski’s remarks are alarming because there’s no reason she should fear “retaliation” in any normal political sense. She held off a primary challenge in 2022 and isn’t up for reelection until 2028. But everyone understands that defying Trump can bring dangers more grave than well-funded primary challenges.
After all, on January 6, Trump sicced a violent mob on his own vice president when he wouldn’t follow his illegal orders, and since returning to office, Trump has behaved more like a mob boss than a commander in chief. Indeed, Murkowski sounds sadly resigned to this fact, like someone bravely fighting a terminal illness with no hope of a cure.
Trump is not a normal president who governs through persuasion and political savvy. He constantly resorts to coercive threats. A system where that becomes normal isn’t a democracy. It’s a reign of terror.
