Is there any way . . .
. . . we can stop pussy-footing around and start calling it what it is: DICTATORSHIP.
I'm sick of the words "autocrat" and "autocracy" to describe Trump and his destruction of the rule of law. HE'S A GODDAM DICTATOR AND HE IS ESTABLISHING A DICTATORSHIP.
I live among the goobers who voted for him -- my rural VA county went 72% for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024. If you call him an "autocrat," that 72% thinks you are talking about a CAR -- a vehicle, an automobile.
And the same for "autocracy" -- WTF is that? A new type of automatic transmission?
I know we can't force the media to call it what it is but we should.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
