maybe also read about the connections between Bukele’s government and Trump’s cabinet (specifically Howard Lutnick).

As a staunch Republican I have my concerns as well. I see your concern. Our side can have a tendency toward fascism. But it tends to be mostly in the Roman Catholic camp. Unfortunately, this is the camp running our executive and judicial branch. Ironically, you are referring to due process and other safeguards that are the political result of the Reformation and Protestantism. Habeas Corpus, what the founders of America called “that great bulwark and palladium of English liberty,” was also a result of Protestantism. El Salvador is still a Roman Catholic nation. President Trump, God bless him, needs to stop promoting and appointing so many Roman Catholics, and start infusing his administration with Protestants of the stamp that our founders were. There is nothing more dangerous to liberty than Roman Catholicism.
