It's time to connect points. The attack of the Trump administration on democracy entered the new and dangerous phase. Trump does exactly what he said, what he would do, and what many of us warned is approaching. It is at the head of the political movement, which has long been aimed at demolishing American democracy, and he and his inner circle of supporters are now supported in a corner where they have few options, but to double. At the next stage of this corrupt absorption of the leading institutions of America, the Trump administration will surely expand its already substantial control of both the justice system and corporate media, and it will use this control to suppress dissent and spread even greater disinformation. Is it impossible to know whether the Republican Party’s plan will not be known to destroy American democracy for good. The fact that those who still believe in the promise of America are clear.
Point number one is the appeal of federal law enforcement agencies and justice systems to punish enemies of the regime and its leader. A indictment From the former director of the FBI, James Komi, just a few days after President Trump said that Pam Bondi’s lawyer should pursue him along with other political opponents, makes us a giant step towards this purpose. This radical action is not surprising for a person who appointed many of his personal defense lawyers to the highest positions in the Ministry of Justice. It does not matter that the case against Komi is unlikely to lead to condemnation. Trump's thighs will already receive a message that federal law enforcement agencies are currently a completely political instrument of the leader and the ruling party. This is how corrupt autocrates work.
Point number two: an order announcing the “antifa” by the “internal terrorist organization”. How article Published on the web site of the Libertarian Institute of Cato, it is indicated that “Antifa” is not a formal organization, but rather an “idea” – how Taoism, crossfit or “keto” are ideas – and this announced the movement of “idiotic at several levels”. The meaning of the order is to fulfill the hated rhetoric with which Trump and many of his followers reacted to the terrible murder of Charlie Kirk. The administration intends to use the forced power of federal law enforcement agencies in order to attack all those who do not agree with his political views on the preposition, which do not agree with the ruler, is to invite “terrorism”. In connection with the attack of the administration on the Fund of Open Society, the financed Soros, this is the armament of the Ministry of Justice and the FBI is already in full swing.
Point number three is the deployment of the US military against (so-called) internal enemies. This began with the deployment of the National Guard and currently includes various orders and statements that make it clear that Trump expects to use the military in order to extensive pressure on large sectors of the American population. The transformation of ice into federal police forces, mainly outside the traditional law enforcement agencies, is a related part of this project.
Point No. four is the transformation of fixed assets into the regime of propaganda and disinformation suppliers. The great story last week was not the abolition and (partially) the return of Jimmy Kimmel. For a long time predicting a statement that antimonopoly regulators are now working not for the American public, but rather to promote the interests of the Trump administration, which include the consolidation of the main media industry in America in the hands of a small number of billionaires engaged in Trump. The sale of Tiktoka (with a responsible billionaire loving Trump), the continuing elevation of Fox News to the broadcasting network on the semi -official party party and other data points, including the participation of Trump's son -in -law Jared Kushner in the redemption of electronic arts in the amount of 50 billion dollars, completes the picture. The creation of these media of the oligopolis will hug and misinform the public, what exactly the authoristers want.
Point number five is the capture of the corporate sector. As predicted at the early stage, this turned out to be the easiest part of the authoritarian project. CEOs with MBA, trained in the theory of shareholders management, are too often push -ups for autocrats. You simply point out the “result” when you enlist their support in the liquidation of the public in its rights. They have no idea that you will return later to shake them.
Point No. six is a reduction in the legislative body on a jelly plate. While the Republicans control both chambers of the Congress, this mission is executed and charged. The Constitution places the power of the wallet into Congress; This Republican Congress passed it, along with any other issue, to the president. Congress also always had the power of supervision. This congress does not just wear ties; He pulled out his eyes so that he did not have to testify the epic levels of corruption and dedication in the highest office.
And point No. seventh, which consists in eliminating any opposition in the form of experience by destroying the federal government, began since Elon Musk, not elected billionaire, and his 22-year-old minions went in their chain form, boomed through the federal government.
Although we have reached a terrible moment, do not make a mistake: now is not the time to curl up in despair. We have a work-involvement in protection, producing organizations to support, court claims for execution, corruption for the exhibition and intermediate elections next year.
The same forces that brought us the anti -democratic movement managed to undermine key institutions: judicial authorities, the integrity of religious institutions and the fences of one of our two political parties. If we want the best results, we can start by studying how these institutions have been undermined and devote ourselves to the process of their restoration.
Last December, Politico published an amazing article by the Turkish journalist ASLI Aydintasbas, who survived and documented the methodological process of state capture and the return that continues. It is worth reading. It reminds us that the autocrat needs time to consolidate control, so it is vital to remain active and involved. She advises us to focus on strategic and wide actions that turn outside the professional classes.
She tells us to take a step back from the policy of identity and purity policy and work with other like -minded people and organizations, even if we disagree with everything. It reminds us that there is nothing more significant than to be part of the struggle for democratic principles. “America will survive over the next four years,” she writes, if those who support democracy, “will raise themselves and begin to study on the successes of the opponents of the autocracy around the world.”
