Rachel Maddow Makes Clear: Authoritarianism Has Arrived Under Donald Trump! :(

Ronald 40 Comments

On Monday evening, the great Rachel Maddow on MSNBC made the clear announcement that Authoritarianism has arrived! 🙁

It is no longer an issue of whether it is occurring, or is in process.

When one looks at the multitude of events and statements over the past six plus months, America is in dire straits in so many ways.

The Republican Party in Congress and the majority of the Supreme Court are in unison with most of what is being perpetrated by Donald Trump, his Cabinet, and others.

While there is opposition still existing, we have seen caving in by many law firms, corporations, and even more troubling, by several leading universities, and even concessions by ABC and CBS, and the end of the Corporation For Public Broadcasting, which helped support public televsion and radio since 1969.

This is the most depressing time in American history, and may be ranked historically as the most dangerous times since the threat of Fascism and Nazism in World War II.

It is hard not to be in despair, and a sense of fear has spread, as ICE agents arrest and detain people without just cause, and most having no criminal record of any kind.

Nativism, racism, misogyny, homophobia all are having their heyday! 🙁

American democracy is facing unprecedented challenges, and American national security is endangered, as America’s relationship with the world, including its long time allies, is endangered by the highest tariffs in a century, and a sense of lack of reliability of the nation to the world around it.

But, as Rachel Maddow makes clear, it is not a time for just despair, but rather for determination to resist in every way possible, including NOT allowing the naked attempt of Republicans to fix the 2026 Congressional elections and Congressional and Presidential Elections of 2028 and beyond.

There is widespread outrage being openly expressed all across the nation, and courage and principle must continue to be utilized in an active resistance!

    Kamala Harris stated what surprised her most how all branches of government have capitulated towards Trump’s crimes, empowering him that much more.

    What have we, as a country, become?

    The political system has lost its soul, and the Supreme Court, even more than the Republican majority in Congress, bears the greatest blame, for which in historical terms, will condemn Chief Justice John Roberts for failure to ally with one Republican appointment on a regular basis, to keep a balance. 🙁

    Constitutional law lies in tatters as a result! 🙁

    Instead of vaccines, he’ll HHS develop voodoo doll technology. You can purchase special gold pins and Maga Dolls. Just stick the pin in the part of you that needs healing.

    I hear the moon may be hit with an asteroid in 2032. Radioactive material will be released into the lunar environment. Any astronauts working there will be at risk.

    Trump’s Barbie doll Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has signed an order directing an as-yet-unidentified federal prosecutor to convene a grand jury to investigate whether prominent officials in Barack Obama’s administration, including Obama himself, purposely manufactured an intelligence assessment in January 2017.

    RFK Jr. canceling funding for vaccine development is total insanity, pure evil, and also illegal.

    Paxton is a scumbag and a fascist who has no business holding public office of any kind.

    Netanyahu will go down in history as one of the most disastrous leaders in Jewish history.
