John Stoehr on why Trump is appointing monstrosities to his cabinet:
"Among liberals, the discussion seems to be limited to the absurdities each of these people brings to governance as well as the dangers they pose. 'Yes, shake your head at the seeming absurdity of these picks,' wrote MSNBC’s Jen Psaki. 'But don’t stop there.'"

"'These choices aren’t just controversial; they require us to stay vigilant about how each potential new Cabinet member could negatively affect our lives.'
But I think we’re missing the bigger picture. These nominations signal the totalitarian drift that’s coming to Washington and the country. Yes, that’s right. No, I’m not exaggerating. It’s time to start using that word."
Stoehr says totalitarian.
I say fascist.
@wdlindsy I think we also have to keep in mind that t loves to create chaos to wear us down. His final choices will be truly scary. But yes, fascism is the end game.
@lillyfinch That's right.
