Donald the Wannabe Dictator
The Republican party is transitioning the United States into a monarchy with king Donald as our revered dear leader. The GOP totally submitted itself to his rule, will the rest of America follow?
Donald Trump is pushing presidential abuses of power to whole new levels. At the same time the Republican Party is handing over power and authority meant to be in the hands of Congress to Donald Trump. And there are no check and balances in our current government; the GOP is a cult that worships Trump like a god so they go along with his every whim. The Republicans who control both chambers of Congress are proving to be more loyal to Trump than to the Constitution. And sadly because of Mitch McConnell's long-term partisan attacks on the Judicial System we now have a far right judiciary staffed by many Donald Trump loyalists who have been all too comfortable watching Donald Trump's abuses of power unfold. But there's light in all of that darkness because Donald Trump is making the American people question in real-time what kind of nation we want to be. Will the American people alive today oversee the downfall of our once great nation and an immense reduction of the freedoms we all enjoy? Or, will we rise to the occasion so that we can leave our children and our children's children a thriving, free America that they can be proud of?
Donald Trump is attempting to create an America ruled by fear of the government and fear of retaliation for speaking out against him. As Senator Lisa Murkowski explained, many Republicans live in fear of retribution if they even think about going against Trump.
Trump expects us all to follow the GOP’s lead and show total obedience even for his most over-the-top abuses of power. He successfully controls the Republican Party, but that’s because the Republican party was led by weak people in 2016 when he took it over. The weak-minded look to a strongman for protection and leadership and that’s what the 2016 GOP primary was filled with. That’s why Trump was able to come in and say
Hey Rand Paul, you’re ugly!
Hey Ted Cruz, your wife’s ugly and didn’t your dad help kill JFK?
Hey Jeb Bush, you’re boring and your brother sucked as President!
Hey all 16 GOP primary candidates, get in line to kiss my ass cause I'm in charge now!
And the Republican Party couldn’t pucker up any harder or faster for Trump. Every day now the House GOP coddles Trump’s left nut while the Senate GOP takes the right and the fake news media works the shaft. For the last decade they’ve had their heads so far up Trump’s ass that they don’t know their left from right anymore unless he tells it to them. They've given up on objective truth and now their entire reality is based on the personal beliefs of Donald Trump. The Trump cult totally runs the Republican party today and his words dictate their truth; the modern GOP is the literal embodiment of Post-Modernism. In this clip Tucker Carlson represents the typical Republican attitude towards Trump; begging Daddy Trump to bend America over to give a vigorous spanking for being a bad little girl.
He literally said that because that's what the modern Republican party stands for; fawning idol worship of Daddy Trump . The GOP embraces the most beta male bullshit I’ve ever seen. Trump made the entire GOP his bitch in the 2016 election and they’ve been cucked to him ever since. Donald Trump, like all autocrats, loves to watch the humiliation his obedient sycophants go through while they shower him with endless praise to satisfy his ego. Watching GOP-TV like Fox News today is exactly like North Korean state TV showering endless praise on their dear leader with no criticism, pushback, or skepticism at all. So I want to talk now about the attitude the American people should have when it comes to Donald Trump. He wants to put out the message that criticism of him is unpatriotic, so I want to cite some other important Americans about how we should really treat Trump;
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official… It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
―Theodore Roosevelt
“Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.”
“The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the government.”
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”
-Abraham Lincoln
“Since when have we Americans been expected to bow submissively to authority and speak with awe and reverence to those who represent us?”
“The American government is premised on the theory that if the individual man is to be free, his ideas, his beliefs, his ideology, his philosophy, must be placed beyond the reach of government.”
“Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us…”
-Supreme Court Justice William O Douglas;
"The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty"
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny"
-James Madison, author of the Constitution
“We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”
– John F. Kennedy
“It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority”
- Ben Franklin
