President Joe Biden told Americans in his Inaugural Address last week: “We have learned again that democracy is precious. Democracy is fragile. And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.” But one would be forgiven for thinking otherwise, given the Biden administration’s behavior on taking office.
After a week of Biden, the United States is being run more like a Third World country than an advanced democracy. Here are nine of the most salient examples:

1. Rule by executive order.
2. Putting a predecessor on trial.
3. Censorship of opposition.
4. Attacking the private sector.
5. Exploiting identity politics.
6. Challenging judicial independence.
7. Purging former officials.
8. Encouraging a slavish media.
9. Military in the streets.
“...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...”

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”
Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff
Nailed it.
Post 4 is missing the number one sign that Joe Biden is a Third World Leader - his handlers rigged the election that put him in office.
This is kind of like Russia when Dimitri Medivev was the President and Putin was the Preimer. Putin still ran everything.
It's almost like there was a proven plan, and the guy using that plan there, was the guy using that plan here.
bttt
Someone tell me why the Blue States aren’t happy. Seems like they are fine with Biden as their despot leader.
Zimbabwe comes off a looking almost benign in comparison.
Even some of the less doctrinaire Democrats are getting a little nervous about the direction this Harris/Biden regime is taking.
Ilhan Omar rejoices.
As Pat Buchanan wrote in his latest column: “Welcome to Zimbabwe.”
The illegally elected Biden Administration has already failed the American people and the American Nation Republic!!! End of story!!! May God, Lord, Almighty save this bleeding nation republic...the USA!!!
I didn’t create that list, it came from the post tease Breitbart article.
Honest elections are a thing of the past and the Democrats are trying to outlaw all voter IDs.
The rest of the world knows why.
What self-respecting banana republic would have him as leader?
I wonder if sending jpgs of text rather than posting text in social media messages would gum up the works when they censor communications.
Software CAN scan for characters but when I have scanned for specific meme matches, the software recognizes the picture or that it is a meme but not the specific text.
People can still report “your” posts but if your profile is set to friends only, one of your “friends” has to raise a stink about it.
Biden is no leader. He is a puppet. The real leader is Susan Rice who takes direction from Obama and his cabal
