They just sprinkled in a little extra facism

Republicans realized they couldn't make people vote for them anymore after being homophobic and pro-corporate became bad optics, so they latched on to demonizing trans people to achieve the same thing they were achieving for decades, and people still fell for it.

Did you mean to write "defund"?

My mother-in-law was the president of the Kentucky Reba McIntire fan club, and my father-in-law ran security for her when she toured here.
They have all kinds of pictures with her, and she held my wife on her lap and played with her when she was a kid.
When my father-in-law died, she sent a giant peace plant to his funeral.

The difference is that Trump also abolished the rule of law. It's law and order without the law, and without the order.
Trump blatantly abolished the rule of law. It's not like rich people payed for their crimes before he was elected, they just don't have to do all the PR work to cover it up anymore.

Under Trump they started shipping the repression back home

Makes sense. The public no longer blindly supports this kind of shit like they used to...so authoritarian tactics are now required to keep getting away with doing it.
Yet somehow half of the voting population supposedly voted for it.

He drained the swamp and then flooded it with his own newer swampier swamp
He is the swamp.

And deporting those murderous illegal aliens stealing our jobs and eating our pets!
/s
USA! - Now with more scams!
Just think, Until recently people with sketchy tattoos just walked freely with the rest of us. Now, we can rest assured that at least brown people with questionable tattoos can simply be deported without any due process to be treated worse than animals. And we can keep telling ourselves that it's really quiet ok because something like that could never happen to us or the people we care about.

That's because they control who gets to be part of the voting population

That doesn't explain why the majority of MAGA voters are actually upset about this. What most people fail to account for, is that a ton of people who voted for Trump, were lied to about what he was planning on doing, and they were simply too gullible to look any deeper than the narrative they were fed.
Yes, they are stupid. But they aren't necessarily as evil as the ones that voted for Trump because they wanted stuff like this to happen. That's a much smaller demographic than people think.

I was thinking more Lahey from TPB, but that works too.

The SCOTUS and Republican Congress abolished the rule of law.

I'm sober enough to know what I'm doing, and drunk enough to really enjoy it.

Or, I suppose, the swamp’s calling the shots now, Randy would be more appropriate in the context.

They don't blindly support it anymore- now they knowingly support it.

Also as many have pointed out myself included, propaganda is a hell of a power multiplayer for support. Plenty of decent folks have been propagandized for sometimes decades or generations, this means that as a baseline their perception of reality is warped at best absolutely rat fucked at worst. As someone who broke out of that particular spiral due to my own historical literacy and my abject fucking hatred for most so called authorities, well it's a rather hard thing to free oneself from especially in say rural Idaho or Arizona for example.
The upside is that propaganda only really works when people don't think they are being propagandized to, this means that if the propagandists push back too much their control will snap. It's a lot like religious conversation the easiest way to convert someone is subtly, I should know I somehow made a fucked up synchronous thing from my kins folk traditions and Norse neo-patanism and converted myself to it.

He's more like a burst urine soaked sewage pipe, spewing shit and flooding the whole American political sphere with giant turds and other effluent.
