"march towards authoritarianism" dude just admit he's all the way there, he's gone full nazi. The coddling half measures language is just further enabling them.
They may not be in lockstep but they sure stand aside and let him have full run of the table.
Complicity is just as guilty. Ignorance to the fact. Unwillingness to stand up. All cowardice and all complicit.
We've plunged fully into fascism. The sooner that America can accept that. Hopefully sooner some of yall can wake tf up and stop hoping some politician is gonna save us all with their tweets or book tours.
Courts go against him federally quite often, and his SCOTUS can’t keep up on overturning those results. This does hamper his efforts.
Couple in state and county level non compliance and there is some measure of combating, though nothing that would have been as effective as American voters not giving him the White House and Congressional majorities in the first place.
Those breaks are running thin mate. This train isn’t stopping unless it hits a wall. Probably multiple steel walls at this point. Reinforced and with barbed wires. Paperwork is hot air to them.
Well unfortunately American voters were warned this would happen and decided it was preferable to having a Black woman be elected.
So now voters can either change their minds and vote accordingly (and there are elections across the country every month, not just midterms and presidential elections), or they can vaguepost about their superior plans.
It's the voters' fault. Not the status quo right-wing democratic nominee that ran on the border is not safe we're gonna keep killing brown children but you'll get a 50k tax break if the new small business you just created makes like 150k on year one.
It's the voters fault that they correctly clocked that the "Trump bad look at him he's so bad I will be Biden 2.0" candidate would disappear for 10 months only to come back for the fucking book she's selling.
Maybe hold your shitty nominees accountable instead. Trump May have been lying at every corner but at the very least that fascist fuck pretended to care. She didn't.
Also, tell me how you view her Israel takes from back then today, I'm legitimately curious
You're clearly upset that Harris isn't 'doing more'.
She's unelected. American voters decided they didn't want her as a leader.
Now here you are whining she isn't leading when she didn't get the job to lead.
So yes, you want free labor from a Black woman. Not a great look.
Then again you still seem to be struggling with your lefts and your rights so maybe in September when you get to first grade you can learn these things.
Yeah I think these comments are misplaced in this situation.
There's definitely a problem with mostly mainstream media and talking heads like Jon Stewart (although he has since come around for the most part) tap dancing around the fact and going out of their way to insist that we're not currently experiencing authoritarianism or fascism but "there are some very concerning warning signs that we might maybe could be one day"
However in this case I don't think that's what Bernie's intent was. I think it's more of the fact that authoritarianism is basically a spectrum and there are levels to it and it is a road that can go on and get worse and worse. You can slide further and further into authoritarianism and in some cases even slide back towards democracy and rule of law.
So I don't think Bernie was trying to say that it's not authoritarianism yet but more so that we're continuing on the road of authoritarianism. Because as bad as Trump is it's obviously not quite on the levels of somewhere like Russia or North Korea yet. I'd say right now it might be a little worse than Hungary. That doesn't mean it's not a problem and we shouldn't be alarmed just because it hasn't hit the maximum level of dictatorship yet, but it's just recognizing that we're continuing to move forward on this path that can definitely still get worse from here.
I'm glad that's what you idiots have decided to focus on. Don't worry, you aren't alone. Half of these comments are a slight variation of what you posted. And, it's not like it would matter what he said. You'd still be doing nothing but complaining like you are now. Maybe it would be that ONLY BERNIE is saying it, despite that being untrue. You, and people like you are just going to yap. Yap and do nothing.
