I think the target is not so much Trump himself, as it is the populist movement that punished the establishment and elected him. The nomenklatura is furious and scared when there's an injection of popular will. They want that crushed.

These things you are writing about just make my head feel like it might explode.

I have watched craziness happen most of my life [I am 70], but it seems to have accelerated lately;

or is that just my imagination? HA!!!

The totalitarians have to destroy Trump because he's the about the only Republican they can't bribe or bully. But we conservatives/traditionalists are to blame for this current chaos and collapse because we didn't stand up to these groups, thinking they would quit after every one of their victories. It comes down to this: conservatives think leftists are good people who have very bad ideas. Leftists think conservatives are just very bad people. That's why you see the intense hatred, in particular of practicing Christians, who everywhere and forever have been a conservative religious group.

If I have to hear "Donald Trump is not above the law" one more time . . .

Well, let's start having a discussion about who *is* above the law, or so it would seem.

I may not care for Trump, but we couldn't do anything about Bush and Obama, both who are basically war criminals with millions of deaths on their hands, and Clinton and Biden, who both used and are using their offices to get rich selling influence and secrets. On top of it, Clinton is a serial sexual assaulter and rapist (both actually and statutorily).

So if those four are walking free (not just "free" but having praise heaped on them day in and day out) but you go after Trump on some whacked out legal theory that a hush money payment is a political donation . . . you've just turned this country into a banana republic and reduced our "democracy" cred to zero.

The academic and bureaucratic parasite class lives on a different level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

While the rest of us are trying to feed our kids and navigate an increasingly treacherous world where we are forced to take experimental medicine, where we at risk of losing our meager jobs for saying men cannot get pregnant, where we have our children endure ethnic harassment in public schools, and where we deal with rapidly increasing cost of living, women like Ruth Ben-Ghiat have their needs fulfilled by the heavily taxed productive class, so in their minds, the purpose of the government is to validate their feelings and provide them with affirmation.

That's why when people like Trump fail to provide them with that affirmation, they think it is authoritarianism. Since her material wellbeing is taken care of by the proles (who not only pay her salary, but bear the cost of her delusions), it's unthinkable that any pragmatic decision that fails to provide affirmation is motivated by anything other than a desire to be a "bad person".

Trump is such a threat to American norms that we must bulldoze every norm to preserve Our Democracy.

Donald J. Trump is the only 2024 presidential candidate who strikes absolute fear into the hearts of the demonic leftists who are destroying the United States. They cannot control him, so he is dangerous.

And Trump loves our country the way most real Americans do.

I believe that if you do not support Trump's presidency, you might as well go ahead and vote for Joe or whichever other puppet will be backed by the marxists.

Why the omission of Ukraine, which has been much more thorough about crushing political opposition than at least several of the states mentioned (including Russia), as well as currently being far more relevant to the U.S. public than most of them? (Also note that the detention in designated black-hat Venezuela related to planting bombs.)

Authoritarianism is getting away with crime?

She didn't even attend civics and social/political science classes, did she?

She's so woke even Wikipedia's entry on authoritarianism looks right-wing.
