Is it really any wonder that Donald cozies up to murderous autocrat dictators like Erdogan, Putin and Duterte OR that they too are now using his "fake news" schtick? Beware America - your democracy is in danger.

Sarah Kendzior, a writer on politics who has a Ph.D. and is an expert on authoritarian regimes, offers insightful perspective on how this issue may well play out. Aggressively attacking the press and other perceived threats, she often points out, is a classic authoritarian tactic.

The president and his allies, she said to MSNBC in a recent interview, are now focused not just on undermining the Mueller investigation but in sowing the seeds for "how are Americans going to receive this information. Who are they going to consider trustworthy?" The president and allies are taking steps, Kendzior noted, "to make Americans think this is inaccurate information, or information we shouldn't care about, or information we shouldn't trust. They've been trying to put that groundwork in play for a long time, so that when Mueller does reveal more information, people simply won't accept it as accurate or important."

No matter that Mr. Mueller is a lifelong Republican. Or that he was appointed by a Republican. Or that he's investigating a substantive threat to the democratic process from a powerful foreign adversary. Amid the constant attacks on the investigation's credibility, what I personally find most disturbing is the lack of forceful condemnation (with the notable exception of a few independent-minded Senators like Flake, Corker and McCain) from the vast majority of Republicans in Congress.

They're placing party over country, or perhaps more accurately, self over country

That right there just lost her all PhD credibility. Fake news org, fake news person....

By the way I have a PhD in the school of life, and I have more knowledge than most people coming out of College with a piece of paper...
 
Many Americans voted to overthrow a full democracy that the left has continually moved us towards.
Full Democracy is majority control over everyone with no voices for the minority.
Full Democracy is what the Dems want and that is a form of dictatorship.
It is far from equality for all.
So who is really wanting authoritarian management?

You libs made the Press a valid political target when you made it an arm of the democratic party.



The issues of the Press are on you.


Your desire to be allowed to attack the President with impunity is noted and dismissed.


Those days are over. We have a President willing and able to fight back, coward.

Where did you get that bit of information? Alex Jones, or the voices in your head?
