AUDIO/VIDEO: Rachel Maddow on MSNBC on MAGA – Trumpism is sometimes what we call it. MAGA movement is probably a better way to do it. But there is an authoritarian movement inside Republican politics that isn’t being bamboozled by Trump. They are pushing Trump to get more and more extreme.
- I’m going to part ways w/ most on the right when they hear this.
- YES, we need authority.
- I need God’s authority.
- I need to know that if I do X, and it is wrong, I will be punished.
- I need to know that if I do X, and it is right, I am storing up graces.
- God’s authority is necessary for a civil society.
- They want you to run from authoritarianism.
- What is it at the end of the day?
- Fathers are authoritarians of the house.
- The fathers are then held responsible from God.
- Asking for authority figures to rule our civic affairs above us and turning your eyes to God for the authority.
- In Maddow’s eyes, all authority is bad.
- She should be horrified of this turn toward authoritarianism.
- Does that mean he should be running around w/ a literal board cracking the kids upside the head w/ it?
- Of course not.
- When Trump walks into a room he commands authority.
- He commands the room that is what authority looks like.
