How America Can Avoid Becoming Russia

[IM2]

Kasparov was once a top chessmaster who was forced to flee from Putin's Russia. If anyone knows what a dictator is, he would be the one.

How America Can Avoid Becoming Russia​

Based on polls, election results, and the markets, Americans seem to be awakening, if only slowly, to the magnitude and nature of the threat they face. President Donald Trump and his allies in power are trying to erect an authoritarian Mafia state like the one Vladimir Putin and his cronies established in Russia. The American opposition talks of “undermining democracy” and “constitutional crisis”—but for the most part, its legislators, activists, and political strategists are pursuing politics as usual. They shouldn’t be.

If this sounds alarmist, forgive me for not caring. Exactly 20 years ago, I retired from professional chess to help Russia resist Putin’s budding dictatorship. People were slow to grasp what was happening there too: Putin’s bad, but surely he’ll stop short of—and you can fill in the blank with a dozen things he did to destroy Russia’s fragile democracy and civil society, many of which Trump is doing or attempting to do in America today.

Attacking the press as fake news and the enemy of the state? Check. Delegitimizing the judiciary, the last constitutional brake when the legislature is co-opted and feckless? Check. Expanding influence over the economy by threatening businesses and using tariffs to introduce a crisis and a spoils system? Check. Creating a culture of fear by persecuting unpopular individuals and groups? Been there, done all of that.

How America Can Avoid Becoming Russia

Political pressure must be brought to bear—through the courts, the press, and the states, but also applied to legislators while they still have any power left.

Democrats talk about Trump "undermining democracy" while they simultaneously crown a new presidential candidate without a single vote from the people. Democrats gaslight reality in the news, and for the last four years, have continued to communicate how strong, healthy, and job-ready Biden was, and then 'attacking' the press by forcing and providing the questions and selected press corps individuals that would be selected during press conferences. Even the presidential debates were staged to advantage the Democrats.

Guess what .. it failed!

So don't even try to attempt to stage the narrative on how Trump is becoming Russia .. dumb ass.

Fuck you. Nobody is falling for that spin, chump. Trump didn't primary. He didn't participate in debates. He had his family members running the RNC. People were purged from voting. Trump is violating the Constitution.

Who was purged from voting in the Republican primaries?

The chair of the RNC isn’t a member of the Trump family

You're an idiot. Trump certainly primaried .. unlike Harris who didn't receive a single vote from the people. Why would one participate in the debates when they were already the favored candidate (who kicked Harris' ass)?

Who was purged from voting and why? How did Trump violate the constitution (like Biden who directly went against the Supreme Court?) Educate us since you're the brain.

You're playing checkers, and Trump has been playing chess.

The answer is so simple, get rid of Trump.

Russian disaster averted.
