It's been so amazing watching right-wing Twitter try to drag criticism of John Cornyn's quoting of Mussolini as an implausible reading of GOP values when right-wing Twitter has made a *godhead* of a man who openly idolizes dictators around the world, from Putin to Kim to Duterte.
Indeed the president himself has quoted Mussolini approvingly, so when Democrats saw Sen. Cornyn doing the same thing, they of course—knowing that *nothing* the right-wing Mussolini said applies to Democrats—assumed that Cornyn was merely emulating the right-wing's "god emperor."
If I were Senator John Cornyn, or a member of the far right of the Republican Party, I'd see the internet's reaction to one of my leaders quoting Mussolini and immediately react as they do in the well-known "Mitchell and Webb" sketch: "Are we the baddies?"
