Robber baron Jay Gould was right when he said, "I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half."

“Authoritarian leaders turn the economy into an instrument of leader wealth creation, and encourage changes in ethical & behavioral norms to make things that were illegal/immoral appear acceptable, whether election fraud, torture, or sexual assault.”
-Ruth Ben Ghiat
Sound familiar, MAGAts?

Former president Donald Trump has steadily begun outlining his vision for a second-term agenda...:“With you at my side, we will totally obliterate the deep state, we will banish the warmongers from our government, we will drive out the globalists, and we will cast out the communists and Marxists, we will throw off the corrupt political class, we will beat the Democrats, we will rout the fake news media...”

You pooh pooh, but we had actual troopers in unidentifiable black uniforms snatching actual people off the streets in an actual US city, during the last Trump administration.

BS, he means every word. Fortunately he is too dumb to figure out how to go about reaching his objectives. Trump's vision of America is White Christian Nationalism, no ifs and buts. He is thinking it, wanting it and saying it and worst of all wants to be its permanent leader. (Putinism)

Trump seems to me to be one who only cares about power and the color of money...green.
He would just as likely make nice with any who give him this. Right now it is the WCN supplying what he craves. He will dump them tout de suite as soon as they are no longer a benefit or become a hindrance to achieving power and money.

Agreed, money and power. By pretending to be the standard bearer for WCN, he has gathered a loyal following who obligingly also send him gobs of money. So it's a win/win for him.

CNN is a shithole under the control of asshole plutocrat MAGA supporter and Trump campaign donor John Malone, and news media ratings whore and future billionaire asshole Chris Licht. Licht has no concerns about supporting right-wing fake news straight out of the festering piehole of Donald Trump, as long as he gets the ratings that will get him the money he wants.

Trump is certainly no deep thinker, but he knows what he likes and wants, and he has built a fascist movement. Fascist, not just authoritarian. Robert Reich here clarifies the difference, and what makes Trumpism fascism.
