The lightning move toward autocracy

[BirdGang 385]

As has been repeatedly warned about, Trump rapidly taking us into autocracy, where he will have ungodly power and minimized checks and balances.

Conservatives have whined about what they perceived as too much federal power yet remain blind to what it going on before our very eyes.

One of the first steps has been populated his cabinet with nodding heads who are largely nowhere near qualified to hold these positions.

Trump mostly has the House, Senate and Supreme Court in his back pocket and is slowly creating historic and immense power in the executive branch.

He has silenced health organizations at a time when a potential pandemic is brewing.

And now this:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-fires-independent-inspectors-144550632.html

He has purged watchdogs who help ensure balanced government.

What I expected to see in the coming days is a vindictive campaign to silence critics and go after the media entities that displease him.

With the Billionaire Buttbuddy Boys and their immense power, money and influence over media and social media, with misinformation and propagands designed to continue controlling the minds of those too weak to think for themselves.

This is right out of the playbook of dictators such as Hitler, and here is how he did it:

Trump has already checked many of these boxes.

You check all the boxes for being a clown.

Typical deflection on your part.

1.) Trump stacked the heavily conservative Supreme Court. So much for your judicial-system point. Every federal court in the land threw out his frivolous election lawsuits, include courts overseen by judges he appointed. There was a MAGA on the very jury that convicted him of 34 felonies. A Republican-appointed judge already has blocked his birthright executive. I have proof. You don't. 

2.) The media? You're kidding. Fox is the country's highest-rated media entity and a mouthpiece for Trump. Zuckerberg controls Facebook, and Musk controls X. And Trump is picking former Fox personalities for his cabinet. Your point in this one can't crawl out of the crapper. It's total B.S.

3.) What universities does the left control? It's not a shocker that universities throughout recent history have leaned left. You've got nothing to back up your report on that, just more ignorant parroting. Here's a list of the conservative-leaning U.S. universities.

4.) White Christian nationalists and evangelicals have played perhaps the biggest part in getting Trump elected in 2016 and 2024. This is a fact. Show me some evidence of the left taking over churches. This is a ludicrous assertion.

5.) Just about all the leading economic indicators the past few years have been well into the black. The stock market hit records under Biden, job growth was strong, wages rose and the GDP soared. If you want to point to inflation and gas prices, you better brush up on your supply-and-demand economics if you want to try to blame Biden. And if you do want to blame a president, what are you going to say if and when Trump places tariffs on Mexico, Canada, China and elsewhere, and the prices of groceries, restaurant meals, vehicles, computers and myriad other goods goes through the roof? Are you going to blame him for skyrocketing prices for eggs, milk, poultry and beef if he doesn't take steps to keep this bird-flu outbreak in check? And we might not know because he's ordered health entities to stop communicating.

You have nothing but assumptions that the MAGA-driven propaganda machines put into your mind because that's what you want to hear and it helps their ratings.

Focking sheeple.

You only pay attention to what provides you with what you want to read or hear. You outright dismiss anything that falls outside that paradigm and refuse to do any historical reseach to learn about The Gilded Age or Germany in the early 1930s.

My points come from extensive research and contain substances.

Your childish platitudes do not.

I do think that @Death is correct to the extent that there are people around Trump who are concerned that whites are becoming a minority in this country and are seeking ways to maintain white dominance, through measures like clamping down on immigration, making it more difficult for minorities to vote, etc: in other words white nationalism. I also think the hostility towards CRT and DEI are rooted in these racist fears.

 
But though Trump definitely shares these bigoted beliefs, he’s probably far too self-centered, incompetent, and focused on personal slights to truly carry them out. Nonetheless we need to be wary of the Stephen Miller types around him…

While I think it’s important to keep a close eye on all this stuff I’m not especially concerned yet. I’m much more concerned about decisions with immediate consequences such as tariffs, the deportation plans, cutting off aid to Ukraine, etc. than I am about this stuff. 
 

I also hope his decisions with regard to the CDC and the WHO, which to me seem rooted in retribution over Covid, don’t come back to bite us, especially if the bird flu thing gets more serious…

It's about distancing the US from the one world government structure where our speech laws begin to more closely mirror the UK along with other undesirable consequences.

I didn't say that. What I said is that what Trump is doing is eerily similar to how Hitler turned Germany into a dictatorship and how democracy died in Hungary.

Typical MAGA distortion of words, but I'm not going to let you get away with it. 

The similarities can't be denied, and I've backed up my points with facts.
