with mussolini, who actually said italy needs an adventure, and that s why he declared dictatorship. so the politics of that the nation s victimized and the leader also has witchhunts, the subject of witch hunts, and he s going to bring the country back and if necessary to violence and that s part of the authoritarian playbook for 100 years. and the other thing that scared me is that in the same speech trump said i am or justice, as well as i am your retribution. and the personalization of justice he s telling you, as he did when he started his campaign and that he would shoot someone he s telling us that he considers himself to be above the law, and he s going to make the law and everyone else will have to follow. it s alarming. thanks to both of you for your important work. ruth ben-ghiat and martin gellman thank you for being here.
brazil s jair bolsonaro is doing what many leaders do when they re coup attempts failed. he spent the past few months essentially living in exile in orlando, florida, presumably to avoid the consequences of his misdeeds. although bolsonaro claims that he would return to his home any day now. but the other former president under investigation for launching a coup, you know, donald trump, our former president, he s not an exile. in fact, he s running again. and the twice impeached candidate received a lavish welcome at cpac. trump handedly won the very unscientific 24 straw poll which shows his tight grip on the party s base remains absolutely intact. and the ex presidents authoritarian leanings remain intact as well, after a speech trump told reporters he will not drop out of the race, even if he is indicted. i wouldn t even think about that. these are fake stories. these are horrible depresses, pressing them to do something, do something. and i think it s very sad for
