They truly believe that if they can control the media, education, science, health, and the military, they'll control it all and stamp out dissent.
If they read US history, they'd know we've been here before... and it led to mass movements and social change that shook this country and the world.

It really should not go unremarked that Mike Johnson *just admitted that the President of the United States is unwell.*
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
J: I didn't see it
D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

If you ever had any doubt that rightwing media is just official state propaganda at this point, consider that Charlie Kirk was replaced on his show by the sitting Republican vice president who ‘interviewed’ White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.

Kash Patel now says there’s a manifesto in the Kirk shooting, but it was destroyed, but the FBI can prove it existed using forensic evidence. So Kash wants to reproduce a manifesto that doesn’t exist to reveal the motives of the shooter. Got it.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work.
The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.
