- Title
America and the Mob.
- Authors
FEFFER, JOHN
- Abstract
It wants a strong hand on the tiller, as if Trump were the Great Helmsman guiding the country in a Great Leap Forward (or Backward, given that a mob's sense of direction is never very precise). JANUARY 19, 2021 The United States began as a glint in the eyes of an English mob of oddballs, dissenters, and criminals let loose on what they considered virgin territory. Trump has always wanted to build a Moscow or a Budapest or an Ankara or a Managua on the Potomac: iron-fisted leadership, no serious political opposition, a cowering press, a cult of personality. Further, 41% of Trump voters believe he has 'betrayed the values and interests of the Republican Party.'" This is an extraordinarily rapid fissure in what had hitherto been an impregnable base of support for Trump.
