Trump is following the playbook

People lose freedoms—slowly, one at a time

The most important enabler is fear

You can stop Trump today, but maybe not tomorrow

Silence is complicity

There is an instruction manual explaining “How to Become an Authoritarian”

Trump is following the steps.

People lose freedoms—slowly, one at a time.

The most important enabler is fear.

You can stop Trump today, but maybe not tomorrow

Silence is complicity.

The Authoritarian Playbook
Goal #2. Undermine objective truth through disinformation
The leader saturates public discourse with falsehoods, conspiracies, contradictory statements, and attacks on evidence… to confuse—making citizens dependent on the leader’s narrative

Don’t forget that Trump’s policies have resulted in the death of 100,000’s of children in Africa when he refused to distribute HIV Rx’s that were already paid for!

Politics requires winning–it’s not an academic exercise. Republicans change the rules whenever it suits their needs.

Democrats need to play to win, or they should leave the game!

Like the patriots did in 1775, we need new rules:

In 2016 Republican activists claimed that Hillary Clinton and senior Democrats were running a child-sex trafficking ring out of the basement of a Washington, DC pizzeria.

The fact were just a bit twisted; it was Epstein’ house(s) and Trump was involved!

Tax Billionaires’ Wealth – Free the 95%
American billionaires haven’t just bought private jets—they’ve bought our democracy. We can have democracy or billionaires, but we can’t have both.

Trump doesn’t give a shit about America’s drug problem. The charade is part of his plan to convince everyone he should be feared and is unstoppable, bend to his will or be destroyed - the dictator’s endgame.

Either from ignorance or willful misdirection, the media repeatedly misses the point.
