A case study in the rise of authoritarianism. Sen. Lindsey Graham is a central player in the Republican party’s capitulation to Donald Trump. We can watch the GOP's turn to authoritarianism by reviewing Graham's many public statements.
This is a long read about how Graham went from a never-Trump into an all-in MAGA nut. It is a fascinating long read.
I also highly recommend https://theauthoritarians.org/ if you want to understand this entire movement towards authoritarianism. Graham is a textbook example of a spineless sycophant who will take on whatever beliefs are necessary to cozy up to an authoritarian leader.
