The Authoritarian Threat is Here
"the penalty for treason is execution, but..."
Trump is an authoritarian, and his supporters are committing treason by giving aid and comfort to Putin and stabbing us in the back so we don’t win our wars, so they all need to be imprisoned and barred from ever holding office again, to prevent authoritarianism.
Here. Can’t capture it in one screenshot, so this is one thread in three images:
The stab in the back! We must prevent authoritarianism by imprisoning the opposition party!
What an interesting cultural figure Ruth Ben-Ghiat is becoming, and what interesting followers she’s gathering together.
To put this into operation, this message is going to build to a crescendo through November. Family and co-workers and randos at the supermarket are going to say this to your face: Drumpf and the MAGAts and the Rethuglikkkans are TRAITORS who are stabbing us in the back by being in bed with PUTIN!
When people say this to you, ask them what they mean. Explore it. Invite them to share their preferred responses to the stab in the back from these internal enemies. Listen carefully. We're building toward an interesting moment.
Ze internal enemy is authoritarian! Und so ve must ERADICATE ze internal enemy!
Something happened in our culture, somewhere.
