Shades of #1930s Germany or later #USSR, anyone?

#Trump threatening to #jail political opposition repeatedly this weekend.
Setting up another #PermissionStructure for an American #authoritarian regime.
Taking @StitchyMc’s words to heart that #Trump’s sensationalist #racist pet-eating #lies are designed to distract us in our outrage from what matters, so I’m turning back to his (make no mistake — it is his) #authoritarian handbook:
I read the full 900-pg #Project2025 manifesto – here’s why it matters
#HeritageFoundation blueprint describes an #America poisoned by ‘#wokeness’ & overtaken by lawlessness that only *#conservatives* can save

More proof this is entirely unnecessary & serves #Trump’s interests alone.
• Distract you from his many other #illegal activities, his ineffectuality geopolitically, & his tanking of the #economy.
• Finally achieving his long coveted goal of creating an #authoritarian #MilitaryState in which no one is allowed to criticize him or even say they don’t like him.

The giant #Trump banner at the #USDA is another sign the US is sliding into #autocracy
It may be small & petty, but these changes are part of the erosion of democratic norms, softening people up for potentially more #authoritarian behavior.

What the hell is this nonsense?
The #Kremlin is preparing #Russia for life without #Internet: shutdowns and restrictions
This is #propaganda on a kid's TV show trying to sell it as a good thing
It's about control of course
Those of us terminally online can appreciate being away from the Internet as beneficial... as a personal choice
But as an imposed #authoritarian prelude to your country becoming #NorthKorea?
Not so much
Holy fucking cow, I mean it's well known that internet #shutdowns are every #authoritarian's wet dream but the arrogance with which the French prime minister thinks he should be entitled to simply order telcos to censor certain online services with no due process is still staggering.
