Rob Cesternino 02/13/20 12:45:29 AM #1:	https://www.businessinsider.com/authoritarianism-experts-say-time-running-out-americans-to-stop-trump-2020-2 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. Since Trump was acquitted in the Senate earlier this month after being impeached in the House over his dealings with Ukraine, there's been a White House purge of impeachment witnesses, and Attorney General William Barr has intervened in the trial of a close associate of the president, Roger Stone. And the experts' tone has changed dramatically. 'Someone has got to push back' "The system is enabling Trump," Jason Stanley, a Yale philosophy professor who wrote "How Fascism Works," told Insider. "There need to be mass protests," he said. "The Republican Party is betraying democracy, and these are historical times. Someone has got to push back. So, why aren't you protesting? --- Stop asking me if I'm Jessica Simpson. Jewish girls Survivor is the greatest show EVER. are hawt <cite>Rob Cesternino posted [p:934307039] in Authoritar...

ChocoboMog123 02/13/20 1:06:14 AM #4:	Outrage fatigue/normalization, I think. Trump should've been a no-go when he wouldn't release his taxes. That he got elected was an embarrassment. From day 1 he lied about the size of his inauguration and just hasn't stopped. Now he survived an impeachment votes across party lines and is acting with impunity. He probably should be impeached again, but first Barr needs to be impeached. Basically, the line was passed a long time ago. --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif <cite>ChocoboMog123 posted [p:934307704] in Authoritar...
