Is there any way . . . [View all]
. . . 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.
