The former guy taught Americans what vast numbers around the world have known for a very long time - how to set up an authoritarian rule:
Tell a big lie - over and over and over and over and over and over...
Attack all investigations of facts and truth
Enforce adherence to the big lie by punishing those who speak the truth.
Control the news
Use and threaten violence repeatedly
Whatever you are guilty of, accuse the opposition of the same thing.
Flood the mental zone with repeated continual chaos.
Infiltrate democratic, military, law-enforcement, and judiciary with fellow authoritarians.
Sadly, we in the United States are living through this now. This is not some arcane study of Germany and Russia. We live in an age of attempted fascist take over.
Truth and goodness
will prevail. Time for my conservative friends to get sick and tired of the
Trump show and turn away.
I don’t know if the former guy just knew all of this, or just does it instinctively based on decades of corruption and domination in his crooked businesses, or was just taking directions from his Master, Vladimir Putin. But he has taught us all about Authoritarianism.
Did I mention violence? Threats of violence? Celebrating violence? Running from violence right after you tell your Cult – you and him go fight…for me…
Meanwhile, the Biden Administration is doing its best to provide a helpful and effective government even in the face of cult led fervid opposition. Thankfully.
