Greg Sargent: Trump's Slow-Burn Authoritarianism

[eppur_se_muova]

4. Not so much a "slow" burn, as a less publicized one. Long article but worth the read.

tfg has made it clear he plans to do anything and everything he can get away with if his useful idiots will only let him get elected again. And there are precious few effective safeguards to stop him from ruining his critics' lives so thoroughly they will have little choice but to silence themselves, or leave the country. Don't think that living in a blue state will protect you, either.

However "worst-case scenario" these ideas may seem, none of them is much more than a variation -- if that -- of ideas tfg and his evil minions have already touted in public speeches and interviews. Don't imagine for a second that they wouldn't really go that far. They'll eventually go too far for even his most rabid supporters, but by then it will be too late.
