MAGA-Phobia: Politico Q&A with Totalitarianism Expert Focuses on Trump
Newsbusters ^ | May 21, 2024 | DUmmie FUnnies

"News" outlets are engaged in feverish speculation about just how dystopian Donald Trump's second term might be. Their fervent imaginations overrule the reality of Trump's first term, which never devolved into dictatorship.

On Sunday, Politico's Joanna Weiss conducted a Q&A with liberal Samantha Rose Hill, a scholar of totalitarianism and the author Hannah Arendt. The headline was "‘A Truer Reality Beyond Reality’: Hannah Arendt’s Warning About How Totalitarianism Takes Root."

Although Stalinism and Nazism are touched upon (barely), the main focus was Orange Man Bad.

Just as we find out that the FBI authorized the use of deadly force in the Mar-a-Lago raid because somehow Trump is the threat to democracy.

The only dictators were the (mostly) Democrat governors who locked down their states and put in place draconian measures for the WuFlu.

If Trump makes it to January 2025 I think his 2nd term will be a wash out as the Democrats are hiring legions of Lawyers and Law firms to tie him up in court for years to come.

Jao BiXiden is a fascist, at best.

His acolytes are worse.

Too bad the GOPee has a severe case of Long TDS.

It’s tough to vote out the GOPeers in heavily “red”[really, blue] districts.

The GOPee are essentially assistant Marxists.

Exactly right.

You,FRiend, have been paying attention! Yet If they get rid of DJT, no sane person will run for POTUS again. Who would want that destruction brought upon their family, friends and acquaintances? Trump has to win

I had said this already on another thread. I saw someone who had posted the following statement:

“I’m not so worried about the bloodbath that will happen if he loses, I’m more worried about the concentration camps that will spring up when he wins.”

The sad truth is that there are some liberals out there who are absolutely convinced that if Trump wins in November, we are going to see concentration camps full of liberals and people who are against the ‘Trump regime’.

It is wickedness that casts a blind eye to their own ideology that embraces the totalitarian nature of Marxism; yet, labels the MAGA movement a fascist dictatorship. The only thing I can understand with their false thinking is they associate the huge Trump rallies with the huge rallies of Mussolini and Hitler. By that reasoning, are the huge rallies at the Vatican for Pope Francis the result of fascism?

Rat Party governors and Trump hating "Republicans". For example,Massachusetts had a so called Republican governor who never tried to hide his contempt for DJT. Early in 2020 the state's unemployment rate was 2.8%. Then that Trump hater shut the state down.

In July 2020 the state's unemployment rate was 11.8%
