Stephen Miller, architect of Trump's white nationalist immigration policy, told Trump Junior how to use the federal government to become an authoritarian regime.

Speaking to baby Trump's Triggered podcast, Miller went off.

"The committees in Congress can act now. They can use their subpoena power now," he demanded. "They can hold hearings now. They can drag people up to get deposed right now when it matters."

"I think the whole lesson here, whether you call yourself a conservative or a traditionalist or a nationalist or a populist, whatever your label is, if you're one of those people who's right-thinking, who's not part of the crazy left, what you have to learn how to do is use the machinery of government, use the machinery of society to impose your will when you have the authority to do so," Miller demanded.

"THE VILL TO DO IT! JA, MEIN FUHRER!" He did not say.

Republicans not only used the machinery of government, they perverted it too. And they destroyed decades upon decades of precedent to take control of the Supreme Court.

Republicans have used the wheels of government to impose their minority will on the entire nation.

Almost every Republican called to testify by a Democratic Congress refused to honor any Congressional subpoena when Trump was in the White House.
