Full on assault on #education and #civilrights. The lower the educational level of the populace, especially the segments targeted for #oppression, the more successful a #dictatorial #government is. It's been in the play book for centuries back to the #church pre-Protestant Europe, and through the millennia, which at the time was a shadow government.

As to the new and NOT-improved version of #radical #rightwing #evangelical #protestantism in the #USA, yep... #SSDD.

- I like the fact that the EU estabilishmant is already putting off the mask of playing democracy and becoming frankly dictatorial, after having already become totalitarian by gradual steps.
The best way for a dictatorship to reveal itself is for it to be as open as possible and without propaganda excuses in the form of stale wannabe pro-democracy and pro-freedom PR.
Well done and keep going as hard as you can so that this can be clear to all those who don't want to be fooled by fairy tales about democracy in the EU :-)))
...it is necessary for the West not only to catch up with totalitarian countries such as Russia or China, but also to surpass them in all their aspects... 🙂
...so you are free to vote for B1 or B2, or B3, but not for AfD...

As Election Nears, Kelly Warns #Trump Would Rule Like a #Dictator

#JohnKelly, the Trump White House’s longest-serving chief of staff, said that he believed that #DonaldTrump met the definition of a #fascist.

"In response to a question about whether he thought Mr. Trump was a fascist, Mr. Kelly first read aloud a definition of fascism that he had found online.

"'Well, looking at the definition of fascism: It’s a #FarFight #authoritarian, #ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a #dictatorial leader, centralized #autocracy, #militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy,' he said."

What the First #Debate Question for #Trump Must Be

The moderators ought to start with the fact that he rejects the foundations of the American system of #government.

by Tom Nichols

“I find it exhausting to have to point out that Donald Trump has—yet again—threatened to engage in #violent & #dictatorial behavior, & that—yet again—the collective reaction by some in #America seems to be a numb acceptance that this is just who Trump is.

#Fascism is #dictatorial? #Totalitarian is dictatorial?

"In fascist countries, by contrast, both policy and leadership are rigidified, almost always under the iron fists of a dictatorial strongman leader and the morbidly rich. Legislation that passes represent the will of special interests rather than the people more generally"
