Kevin McCarthy, who, as Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, told CBS News: “What we’re currently watching unfold is un-American. I’m disappointed, I’m sad, this is not what our country should look like. This is not who we are.”

If he wins in 2024 — and current polls suggest that is entirely possible, maybe likely — Trump has already made it clear that he plans to govern as an authoritarian, even a dictator. He continues to tell lies about his 2020 loss and has promised “full pardons with an apology to many” of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists. He uses language that historians say echoes that of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, calling those who oppose him “vermin” and claiming immigrants who illegally enter the country are “poisoning the blood” of America. He has been indicted on 91 criminal charges.

If Americans, knowing everything they now know about him, reelect Trump — or come close to doing so — it will be time for us all to quit lying to ourselves.
This is who we are.
