I can't say that I wish ill upon the regular citizens that voted him into office----oh the hell with it--yes I can!!

 

Censoring he Media: It is part of Step 2 in creating an Authoritarian Regime. Get rid of anyone that disagrees with your positions and opinions if they can influence public opinion.

Creating an authoritarian regime involves dismantling democratic institutions, consolidating power, and limiting freedoms. Below is a summary of typical steps authoritarian leaders or regimes may follow, based on historical examples and analyses. Note that this is provided for educational and analytical purposes, not as advocacy or endorsement.

1. Undermine Democratic Institutions

• Weaken the Judiciary: Install loyal judges and undermine the independence of courts.
• Control the Legislature: Secure a majority through elections, coercion, or dissolving the legislature.
• Erode Election Integrity: Manipulate election rules, disenfranchise voters, or engage in outright fraud.

2. Suppress Political Opposition

• Censor Media: Limit free press, promote state-controlled outlets, and label dissenting voices as enemies or foreign agents.
• Dissolve Opposition Parties: Ban or intimidate rival political groups.
• Target Dissidents: Use law enforcement or intelligence agencies to harass, arrest, or exile political opponents.

3. Consolidate Control Over State and Society

• Centralize Power: Reduce regional or local autonomy.
• Expand Executive Authority: Use emergencies or crises to justify bypassing legislative or judicial checks.
• Control the Bureaucracy: Replace officials with loyalists.

4. Manipulate Public Perception

• Propaganda: Spread narratives that emphasize nationalism, fear of external threats, or the necessity of strong leadership.
• Personality Cult: Portray the leader as a savior or infallible figure.
• Divide and Rule: Exploit social, ethnic, or religious divisions to maintain control.

5. Use Coercion and Surveillance

• Suppress Criticism in Crises: Frame dissent as unpatriotic or treasonous during emergencies.

9. International Strategy

• Cultivate Alliances: Seek support from other authoritarian regimes or powers.
• Deflect Criticism: Use diplomacy, soft power, or coercion to counteract foreign intervention or sanctions.

10. Maintain Long-Term Control

• Develop a Successor Plan: Ensure continuity by grooming a loyal successor or establishing a dynasty.

I come from a family of Jews who trace their heritage back to austria. I know what comes next.

 

Sorry. ....A Right wihinger watches Left wing Media all of the time. Be it just short clips of Velshi, Rachel, Sunny, Whoppie or Joy going off.
Even if its just a short clip featured on right wing cable. It can be bracing, and reaffirming to listen to. and a little scary, just a little.
But enough to know; also, that millions are in agreement with this media.

Do not shut these voices off.
do not " Tame" them.
They are a sort of voice of revelation.

These are the voices who put Trump in the White House, own it.

 

Rembering after the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment ( 3 Yrs ago)

President Biden led off saying :"I shouldn't be in East Palestine because all of the attention to The Presidents party will distract from the releif effort." ( paraphrase ) Sounds about right. Sounds reasonable.

Then Joy Behar, of The View chimed in to say that; The folks in East Palestine, Oh., voted for deregulation and Trump and therefore deserved the chemical train derailment.

I Thought: Oh Wow. But its true. The Mohoning river valley did switch to Trump in 2016 taking the State of Ohio with it.

But. I thought. Isn' t Senator Sherrod Brown up for re-election in 2024?

The White House let it lie. In affect the Joy Behar statement stood for Democratic position on the Derailment. Even though a sitting Democrat Senator was up for re-election in 30 Months!

I mean. If this was Oklahoma with a guaranted Republican majority it would mean nothing.
If this was California. With a guaranteed Democratic majority it would mean nothing.

That our White House let this statement stand was revealing.

By all means, Please. Let these folks have their media platform.

 

This is hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing. Have you noticed, though, that the biggest snowflakes are those that voted for Trump?
