As the saying goes, those who don't remember our history are doomed to repeat it. That's what inspired Martin Mycielski to compile what came to be known as the Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide ahead of Trump's first term. And now, perhaps it's time—or past time—to dust it off once again.

Nope. Not only is it in the NAME, but it works for Congress. Literally. The Congressional Research Service is there. Doing research for….you guessed it. Congress. The papers of members of Congress are there. This entire administration has no idea what the Library of Congress is.

This notion, that there always has to be a large underclass of people who aren’t well educated and just do manual work for the rest of us, is called “Mudsill Theory.” I bristled yet again at what the Party of Lincoln has become. marypezzulo.substack.com/p/the-mudsil...
