Rachel Maddow's thought-provoking comment on "Autocrats".

[kentuck]

She said that once autocrats get in power, they use that power to remain in power.

That is exactly what Donald Trump has done since his first day in office. Hiring Generals for positions that could control the populace, and firing them if they were not to his liking. He did the same with the institutions of government. At the State Department, at Homeland Security, at National Security, and numerous Departments in our government, sycophants were put in place to do his bidding. He did it quickly and effectively, just like an autocrat.
