The Liberal Media’s Desperate New ‘Trump Will be a Dictator’ Narrative
AmGreatness ^ | 12/8/23 | Fred Fleitz

Posted on 12/09/2023 1:19:14 PM PST by CFW

The leftwing media recently got its orders from the Biden campaign on a new narrative to smear Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential campaign. Because their previous narrative of Trump colluding with Russia and Vladimir Putin has been discredited, they are promoting a new one: if Donald Trump wins the November 2024 presidential election, he will become a dictator similar to Hitler or Napoleon.

This fear-mongering theme appeared in similar articles within days of each other in The Washington Post and The New York Times. The Atlantic is promoting the theme in a January/February special issue with 16 essays where liberal elite authors warn how a dictatorial Trump presidency in 2025 would threaten America and the world on issues ranging from abortion, NATO, climate, the courts, immigration, etc. The Atlantic has posted online 16 of these anti-Trump essays and plans to add more.

The most prominent of these Trump-will-be-a-dictator essays was written for the Washington Post by Robert Kagan, a Never Trumper and neoconservative who advised John McCain and Mitt Romney and now works for the liberal Brookings Institution. Kagan’s article was published in full hysteria mode with an image of Caeser’s head morphing into Trump, a Napoleon hat with Trump’s face superimposed on red streaks resembling blood, and references to Hitler and McCarthyism.

If you read any of the leftist media articles, the "Trump will be a dictator" narrative started in earnest a few days ago. It's almost as if a memo went out with the talking points and keywords included.

They started the same week Traitor Joe announced he was going to confiscate pharmaceutical patents and shortly after his EPA told every car maker what type car they will be “allowed” to make

They fear that Trump will do what Biden’s been doing for the last three years.

The Trump as dictator mantra failed. How do I know - GW Bush said yesterday that Trump is “too old”, a bs line picked up today by Megyn Kelly. this will fail too, especially coming from a simpleton warmonger like GW Bush.

I no longer have any doubt that the republican party leadership is controlled opposition. A Potemkin political party. The 2024 primaries is RINO season.

It’s the best they got. Trump is the son that Adolf Hitler and Satan, Prince of Darkness would have if they procreated. That just tells you how they feel about the current Turnip in Chief.

America is currently living under the dictatorship of far, far left extremist ideology. The people who stole the 2020 election have nothing in common with ordinary, everyday Americans. They do not share our values, and they do not believe in individual liberty.
They are collectivists and Marxists. That’s why they stole the election, because they couldn’t win it at the ballot box.
Time to clean house.
Trump 2024.

Every time I think the MSM couldn’t get more stupid and ridiculous, they take it to a whole new level.

He would have taken the opportunity to do this during Covid if he wanted.

Mandate vaccines
Go after PTA members
Charge his opponents with 91 counts
Send our troops to fight 2 wars
Regulate social media
Ban gas stoves
Mandate EVs
Etc

Donald Trump was not a dictator in his first term and he will not be one in his second.

Idiots.

I take comfort in the fact that these publications re preaching to the choir. They are not reaching anyone who is not already die-hard anti-Trump.

It’s the same old song of Nixon and Reagan, too.

Ya’s make a commie uncomfortable, and the leader “is a dictator”.

I hope to truck he is!! We need a man to start kicking asses, taking names, ruinate ALL congresscritters who are socialist or communist, and clean house.

REVIVE THE ANTI-COMMUNIST LAWS OF THE 1950’S, DARNIT!!

Their accusations invariably turn out to be confessions.

Let’s hope.

Ochlocracy has run it’s course.

Time for the train to be on time.
