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

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.

True, he wasn’t acting like a dictator during the four years of his first term ... but he was just getting warmed up and getting all his ducks in a row.

Future Republican investigations that hear witnesses should begin: “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Democrat Party?”

The Trump-Dictator theme is obviously coordinated. Given revelations about media manipulation in the recent past, it must be asked who instigated this canard, who/what is recruiting the participants, and is giving out specific assignments and managing distribution.

If it’s the DNC or Biden re-election campaign, I guess that is legal even if odious. But is the White House involved? CIA? DHS? DoJ? Other federal agencies? Kagan, the Atlantic, etc., all know. They need to be pushed to reveal the truth of it. The Congressional committee on weaponization of the government needs to find the answer.

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


I agree. They create a conservative persona, say the right words, and convince the people to elect them. Within days of being sworn into office, they start moving left. But, they always have an excuse and promise that next time they will stand up to the left and vote on issues according to their campaign promises. I call them “campaign conservatives”.

If one was so inclined, that person might tie a string to the hole in his fly zipper’s tab, and tie the other end around a potato. In that way, they would become a true “Dick Tater”.

You are stating what is obvious to anyone who has common sense and can distinguish right from wrong, a solid moral compass. Leftist propaganda is so widespread and the “watchdog” media is responsible.
