'There need to be mass protests': Authoritarianism experts say time is running out for Americans ...

[EvilCat Breath]

Donald Trump is rampaging since the GOP Senators gave him immunity from impeachment and other acts of censure.

"The Republican Party is betraying democracy, and these are historical times. Someone has got to push back."

The acquittal from impeachment may have created a trap for Donald Trump which will cause him to indulge in even more unsavory acts which even the most obsequious GOP lawmakers cannot tolerate if indeed there are any such GOP lawmkers with balls and backbone.

Time is running out and there is a possibility that Donald Trump will have shot so many holes in his feet by November that only the most doltish of his howling mob could vote for him.

• Americans are running out of time to stop President Donald Trump's authoritarian slide, experts warned.
• "There need to be mass protests," a Yale philosophy professor and expert on fascism told Insider. "The Republican Party is betraying democracy, and these are historical times. Someone has got to push back."
• Since he was acquitted in the GOP-controlled Senate earlier this month, the president has overseen a White House purge of impeachment witnesses, and the attorney general has intervened in the trial of a Trump associate.
• Republicans have mostly sat back, with at least one senator conceding that Trump's behavior did not seem to have changed because of impeachment.
• "There is absolutely no reason for him to stop pushing. It goes against both his personality and his experience," Cas Mudde, a political scientist at the University of Georgia, told Insider.

If Americans are concerned that President Donald Trump and Republicans are moving the US toward becoming a one-party, authoritarian state, they are running out of time to stop them, experts warned.

Trump has exhibited autocratic impulses since his 2016 campaign and from the moment he entered the White House.

The president has attacked virtually every democratic institution in the US when he's felt its actions were unfavorable to his agenda or public appearance. Meanwhile, he pushed traditional US allies away while openly embracing many of the world's most repressive leaders.

These trends have raised concern among top experts on authoritarianism, fascism, and democracy, but they've often said that the robust political system in the US, with its checks and balances and constitutional norms, has prevented Trump from becoming a full-blown authoritarian and doing whatever he wants.

President Trump is a genius, he has communists, socialists, and statists complaining about “authoritarianism”.

Bankrupt genius. Morally bankrupt, spiritually bankrupt, ethically bankrupt, intellectually bankrupt, and 6 x financial bankruptcy.

Please don't thank me.

The Details About the 6 Donald Trump Corporate Bankruptcies

Then why is he a billionaire and the President, while you are living in your mother’s basement?

The only thing Donald Trump is a billionaire is in the utterance and publishing of lies.

He can't prove he is a billionaire because he refuses to publicly release evidence of his financial status.

Just like Little Mikey Bloomberg.

The O. P. should have been around to be a Jacobin in the French Revolution...they were all as bat shit crazy as AOC...and they all wound up cutting each others heads off trying to decide which one was the most dedicated Socialist.

History repeats itself, because human nature doesn't change....there are a pack of fools in each new generation and they call themselves Socialists. Some like "The Bern", and Fidel Castro, never change----most learn and grow up.

In the end, the Guillotine came for them all. When they ran out of Loyalists, they went after the Girondists, when they ran out of Girondists, they went after Non-montagnard Jacobins, and when they ran out of those, the remainder got rid of a few examples to keep their own heads.

Straw man. The House still has the power to impeach or censure him.

No. It would be a tragedy to separate you form your couch. Stay peaceful and calm. Beer will help you survive your TSLS, Trump Shit Life Syndrome.

Putting the circus-like partisanship aside, it's extremely naive and foolish to reject the notion that your civil liberties are under constant attack by your government.

Democrats are the real authoritarians. Banning, attacking, etc.

au·thor·i·tar·i·an
/əˌTHôrəˈterēən/
adjective
adjective: authoritarian

1. favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom.

I would think democrats would be upset that their vote doesn't count. The DNC chooses their nominee, and their platform is based on the idea that voters are stupid and incompetent. I wonder what the 'authoritarian experts' say about that?
