The activity coming from the Trump administration is consistent with a regime shift away from democracy and toward authoritarianism. It’s important to use this label so people begin to appreciate the gravity and consequences of what’s happening.

Op de dag dat Piet Lekkerkerk zich moest melden bij de politie n.a.v. een aangifte van Henk Vermeer, schoof het BBB-Tweede Kamerlid aan bij Café Kockelmann. De redactie zweeg over de aangifte en liet Vermeer desinformatie verspreiden over de overstromingen in Valencia. (1-11-2024) #HowDemocraciesDie

Steven Levitsky in his book #HowDemocraciesDie:

“#Democracies may die at the hands not of generals
but of elected leaders—presidents or prime ministers
who subvert the very process that
#BroughtThemToPower...."

How Democracies Die?
Step 1: Elect a wannabe strongman.
Step 2: Let him rewrite reality.
Step 3: Watch institutions roll over.
Step 4: Call it “patriotism.”

Congrats, America. The autocrat isn’t at the gates. He’s on the ballot.

I spoke to a couple of people at the Wilson Center a few years ago while researching about climate security. All excellent experts on a range of crucial foreign policy issues. Willfully destroying such expertise is just madness and makes America small again #Trump #Musk #SelfCoup #HowDemocraciesDie
RIP Wilson Center. Musk staffers visited the center, and shortly after, its leadership staff and senior government employees were ousted. Dozens of federal employees, about a third of the center’s workforce, were also slated for administrative leave.

Decent Americans need to start educating themselves about fascist movements and how other countries and movements have resisted fascism.

Er is door populistisch rechtse politici en media een cultuur geschapen waar alles gezegd moet kunnen worden. Kritiek t/m persoonlijke aanvallen op wetenschappers, journalisten en rechters waarmee je het niet eens bent genormaliseerd is en gedoogd wordt door die politici en media. #HowDemocraciesDie

Excerpt from #HowDemocraciesDie:

Despite their vast differences, Hitler, Mussolini, and Chávez followed routes to power that share striking similarities.
