This is the opinion of a deluded mind. It is the totalitarianism of the Left with it's identity politics that lost it the election.

Yes it's an opinion piece, which one can agree or disagree. Personally I concur with the author's concerns. However, OP is not regards election, but the Cabinet appointees proposed by trump, many of whom have right of centre authoritarian leanings. Likely some will not pass scrutiny

NYTimes headline today:

 

 

Trump’s Cabinet Picks, Panned in Washington, Thrill Many of His Voters

Where Donald Trump’s critics see underqualified nominees with questionable judgment, his voters described them as mavericks recruited to shake up Washington.

 

Seems that DJT's toughest critics on cabinet picks right now are Republican Senators.

Push come to shove the republican senators will have no backbone as usual. Maybe Gaetz and one other will be stopped but that's it.

Maybe. But for all the talk of 'recess appointments' and 'executive orders' these are the people he needs to pass any legislation.

Would you be criticizing democratic senators for not having the backbone to defy democratic oligarchs and deny Mz. Harris' underqualifed token woke DEI nominees?

 

I highly doubt that.

 

Fortunately, democracy won, and we shall be unburdened by what has not been.

Totalitarianism seeks dominion over the individual to the point where individuality is erased. That’s what happened to the Republican Party. Individuals have looked the same, talked the same, acted the same and thought the same for a long time. (The men sometimes literally dress the same as Donald Trump, with a blue suit, a long red tie.) After the election, however, Republican behavior has finally been totalized.

 

Totalitarianism also seeks to dominate the individual’s mind by going to war against facts, reason, science and any useful meaning of the word “proof.” In normal times, pre-Trump, we could expect in the Senate a spirited debate over a president-elect’s cabinet nominations, beginning with whether they’re qualified. Such debate is going to be impossible now, because “being qualified” is a meaningless term.

A person’s mind is a terrible thing to see going to waste.
