How America Becomes Totalitarian
American Thinker ^ | 29 Oct, 2020 | Tony Senatore

Posted on 10/29/2020 4:52:09 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Is President Trump a self-styled authoritarian? No, but the people accusing him of being one just might be themselves.

One of the most enduring prevarications emanating from the left during the presidency of Donald Trump is the idea that he is a self-styled authoritarian strongman in the tradition of Mussolini and Hitler. Political commentators such as media personality Rachel Maddow and economic adviser Robert Reich were among the earliest purveyors of this sort of fiction, dating back to 2015 and 2017, respectively. In 2020, journalists like Matthew C. MacWilliams and others like him who continue to write through the lens of true anti-Trump delirium have continued to make the case that authoritarianism is a phenomenon that can originate only from the right and that America, specifically Trump-supporters, is "predisposed to authoritarianism." After four years of the Trump presidency, it is evident to those of us who do not suffer from TDS that if President Trump is an authoritarian dictator, he is an ineffectual one. He has been compliant with the Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election and an impeachment trial. In both instances, he was cleared of any wrongdoing, and he did not impose retribution on his detractors. Maddow, Reich, and other purveyors of anti-Trump pabulum continue to operate with impunity. The staff of MSNBC and CNN have not been rounded up by the FBI and taken to the gulag in Siberia.

Becomes?

Scripted, well-coordinated EVIL. The power of TYRANNICAL government. We have crossed the rubiCON.

Crossing the Rubicon
Julius Caesar’s crossing the Rubicon river in January 49 BC precipitated the Roman Civil War, which ultimately led to Caesar’s becoming dictator and the rise of the imperial era of Rome. Caesar had been appointed to a governorship over a region that ranged from southern Gaul to Illyricum. - Wikipedia

ZOOM ZOMBIES...the LOCKDOWN LUNATICS...the MICROMANAGING MANIACS in our government. Look at that PROPAGANDA PRESENTATION from UNACCOUNTABLE BUREAUCRATS giving ORDERS/DICTATES to the NON-ESSENTIALS. WHO are THEIR HEROES...REINFORCING THEIR RESTRICTIONS?

No going back from this, Americans.

Messiah’s Wife: “Barack Will Never Allow You To Go Back To Your Lives As Usual, Uninvolved, Uninformed”

OK BIG MIKE.

Get informed, involved, prepared.

T MINUS 5+ days counting.

Ready - Aim - Vote

Great article by Tony Senatore. Names named, examples given. Many more names need to be identified. Who are the dictators of this EVIL. Who are their 5-star generals carrying out the battle plan in The Art of War?

This ain’t no thinkin’ thing...right brain/left brain...it goes a little deeper than that...
