Never mind.. I looked It up on Chrome..
1) Systematic efforts to intimidate the media.
2) Building an official pro-Trump media network
.3) Politicizing the civil service, military, National Guard, or the domestic security agencies.
4) Using government surveillance against domestic political opponents.
5) Using state power to reward corporate backers and punish opponents.
6) Stacking the Supreme Court.
7) Enforcing the law for only one side.
8) Really rigging the system.
9) Fearmongering.
10) Demonizing the opposition.

(883 posts)A few lessons from history.
1. Declare themself the law. He's already done this on the campaign trail.
2. Art and artist will be attacked. Not to overtly yet.
3. Sedition. The act to get people not to trust their institutions or government.
4. Year one. They always start a count over from 1. That way your history will be forgotten and only the new reign is what is legit.
The others he already has gotten done. The system was rigged has been since the Kerry run for president. The machines can and are manipulated but from the inside. There was a lawsuit. Bush put a gag order on the results of the case. Funny how Obama being popular never had enough democrats in office to do anything. Sorry, to many republicans won just a few token democrats so they could say see maybe the machines were not rigged. Just like the enigma machines they had to let the Germans win a few so they would not know that the code was broken.
Everything Trump accused everyone else of doing he was gulity of it. The republicans tell you what they are going to do beforehand. Read Psalms 10 it fits him to a tee.
