Chances are they HEARD the name Mussolini. Unlikely they learned about the Mussolini government. The colon that produced Mussolini produced trump.

The base likes felon policy because it's GOP. It's republican. It's conservative.
It's none of those things.

The felon commits crimes with blazing speed. Mostly because he's so effing ignorant, he doesn't know. He leaves a wake of destruction and deliberate blockage to consume law enforcement and court time with the details of endless appeals, while he moves on, untouched and unscathed.

He walked away from his six bankruptcies with enought start up money each time to do it again. Hw hired lawyers to find loopholes. Miller, Navarro, and Vought are in his good graces for the loopholes they provide, enabling his crimes.

Bragg understood, and that's why his case prevailed. Engoron, Merchan, and James too. But James is now mired in a flypaper of appeals whose purpose is to delay felon surrender of his money and assets. Every day trump doesn't pay, he gets out of jail free.
