The radical [trump] view of American history is a web of lies, all perspective is removed, every virtue is obscured, every motive is twisted, every fact is distorted and every flaw is magnified until the history is purged and the record is disfigured beyond all recognition. This [MAGA] movement is openly attacking the legacies of every person on Mount Rushmore. [trump] defile[s] the memory of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt.

One of their political weapons is ... demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees [eg. Barr's DOJ]. This is the very definition of totalitarianism, and it is completely alien to our culture and to our values and it has absolutely no place in the United States of America.
