Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w
“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Trump had some choice words for Ruby Freeman.

It sounds like the recording was done in the same room as Trump on a conference call.

Immaterial.

For those who will likely suffer irreversible damage when held to account, the ignorant public will be led to think Trump is being too harsh.

This telephone call well documents Trump wasn’t trying to hang anybody of call names, although he does indicate he is not going to let the guilty slide.

On the contrary, it indicates if there are generally honorable people caught in the fray, a no cost out was being made available, which would likely be overlooked if they simply sought to remain honest and do the right thing.

Trump removed all risk and made it easy for them to be honest. Instead, they have manifest how they have honed their thinking to justify how to deny the fair election and continue no matter how much grace is afforded them.

Just like in Scripture, when the guilty cling to their arrogance, and finally are held accountable, they still won’t blame themselves, but will curse those holding them accountable. Note, Trump isn’t cursing them out. Remember this when they are held accountable and watch their behavior. They will deserve their harsh penalties.
