There is only so many hours in a day and calling out all the Republicans wrongdoing, which significantly outweighs the Dems since Trump, is almost a full time job. Much of what you call Dem wrongdoing is just Republicans blaming the Dems for the things they did themselves and are trying to deflect. Just look at the Joe Rogan clip I posted as a prime example. The Republican narrative was the Joe Biden said they took over the airports during the Revolutionary War and used that to say Biden lacked the cognitive abilities to be President. But it was Biden calling out Trump for saying that. Rogan gets fact checked real-time by his own producer when he finally realizes it was Trump that made the claim and then, only moments after stating if you get that wrong you should not be President, he then tries to brush it aside as being no big deal after all. So, right there you have sheer stupidity in not getting his facts right and then the double standard showing that “if Trump does it, it’s ok”.
Most importantly, the Dems are not the threat to Democracy but Trump is. Take a good hard look at his recent comments and how they are right out of the Facist playbook:
- Find angry people, or make people angry, and make them your “base”
- Point their anger at a specific group of people. Nazis = Jews; Trump = immigrants
- Call them “vermin” in order to dehumanizie those people
- Tell your people only you can fix it and you’ll deport the “vermin”. Much easier if they are not viewed as human.
- Control the media and a quash all messages that are in contrast to you message. Nazis = control the radio, newspapers, flyers, burn books. Republicans = flood the blogs and messaging boards with bullshit so people hear it over and over again, ban books on CRT or things going against their view, establish a State Media (Fox, NewsMax) that will spread those falsehoods for ratings. Trump = punish any news outlet he doesn’t like
- Stay in power forever. Nazis = wanted 1000 year reign; Trump open praised Xi for passing laws for him to be the leader indefinitely.
- Focus on military strength. Trump wanted military parades in the streets of Washington like the French, Russians and Chinese have
- He wants to go after all political adversaries and put them in jail
- He wants absolute immunity for anything he does
Trump even said he’d be a dictator for “one day to close the border and drill, drill, drill”. But guess what, that can’t get done in a day so he’ll be a dictator for another day, and another, and so on.
Trump has been edging Republicans to a Fascist dictatorship since he became President. It’s the frog in the water comparison. If you throw a frog in boiling water he’ll jump out. But, if you put him in room temperature water and slowing increase the temperature he’ll slowly boil to death.
FASCISM!
