They do, eventually. There’s a type of person who shows up in authoritarian regimes, and Stephen Miller fits that type very well. He’s not good at anything except saying the right things. Eventually, a fundamental lack of competence causes them to fuck up in a major way. When that happens, they are “given the courtesy” of being allowed to shoot themselves in the head.
And then there’s Kissinger, who lived a long happy life of riches.
They don’t see consequences because America is a corrupt cesspool in which the rich play without fear of things like “laws” and “ethics” while the uneducated masses are placated by images of brown people suffering.
“The American Dream is aptly named: you’d need to be asleep to believe it.”
Justice doesn’t play into it. This is what happens to a lot of guys in Miller’s position. At some point, your regime does have to solve actual problems. When all the people in the regime are fundamentally incompetent, the boss blames them for failure. Early on, this just means firing them. When they’ve consolidated more power, the term “firing” becomes more literal.
No, it could easily happen before that. Everyone except Trump is replaceable, and that’s especially true if they fuck up in a very public way.
In fact, Vance taking over and trying to purge the hardliners would hasten the split of the “true believers” away from Vance. That will happen, anyway, but it’d happen faster.
For historical examples of what happens when the fascist boss is mad at you, see Rudolf Hess or everyone vaguely related to the July 20 assassination plot (even Rommel!).
Why don’t people advocating for this kind of thing ever feel personal consequences?
Because Americans are still too complacent to affect consequences upon people like him.
The problem is not just complacency by the majority, but also that way to many are actively supporting this.

Kissinger died knowing that Trump will eventually undo all that Kissinger sold his soul for
That’s a bingo.
No they don’t. This is not a just world.

Maybe. If Trump croaks, and Vance takes over, maybe he’ll purge Miller for being a potential threat to his power/control.
