All my life I have studied democratization & autocratization. AR, CU… I can recognize the stages of transition to #authoritarianism.

#Trump thinks he’s saving the country. Ruling party acts like a rubber stamp -like his policies &/or fear retribution -never say never. Overuse of EOs incl. declaring nat. emergencies. Colonize bureaucracy. Fire staff. Replace them loyalists eg #Musk. Defund insts. as a way to force compliance.🚨Mobilize HATE across society…

I've lived #authoritarianism some years of my life, rather than just study it.

The biggest, most intractable authoritarians and tyrants in any territory worldwide are the unelected, lifelong bureaucrats!

Their authoritarian #DeepState captured your #gangsterment in #WARshington practically only a few years after the second #US #constitution of 1789!

Was rather clear when the despot #Retardlican, #Lincoln, held your "voluntary union" together through an #invasion and #occupation of Antebellum states in 1860s.

Was completely certain when your federal gangsterment grew to its contemporary size and scope!

So, what you're alleging now happened many generations ago!😂
