Vice President Kamala Harris and her media Servant repetition Condemn Former President Donald Trump Authoritarian tendencyThis is what national conservative media host Dan Bongino colorfully calls “Dipsy-Doo Flipper.”
It's a simple formula: unfairly attack your opponent for knowingly doing something that voters would not support. Democrats' attacks on Trump are an attempt to deflect attention from their own rigid embrace of authoritarianism. Now we have hard, new evidence that is incredibly frightening.
There is ample evidence of the Democratic Party's authoritarian tendencies. Authoritarians increase state power at the expense of individual freedoms. What happened during the pandemic? They were forced School closures This is not in the best interests of children, but at the insistence of left-wing teachers' unions. masking And social distancing By mistake Sold As a preventative measureBut the left stood firm, seeing it as a tool to train the people into submission to Big Brother.
And what else could characterize a Biden-Harris administration but the state dictating how people should live their lives? Encouraging, persuading, and ultimately Force people Buy an electric car This is just one example, despite unsold EVs piling up in car dealerships.
Authoritarians are actively interfering in elections. Putin’s Russia and Maduro’s Venezuela, Election interference will stop The Democrats are using their old tactics, like forging votes and intimidating people at polling stations. Their opposition Valid identification will be required to register to vote and to vote.
But Democrats have also become more sophisticated. They now seek to use the justice system to attack, hound and hopefully destroy their opponents. Donald Trump is no angel, but the various kangaroo trials new york, Georgia Farce, and Jack SmithThis joke is pure election interference.
Disinformation through the media is a favorite tool of authoritarians, but disinformation works when it works. Widespread And it is repeated often. Mainstream Media I'm happy As the plummeting readership and ratings attest, few people trust them.
Democratic authoritarians encourage the media to manufacture false narratives and stifle stories that don't suit them. The Russia collusion hoax needed little encouragement to spread, but Hunter Biden's laptop would have come back to haunt the Biden campaign in 2020 if the media hadn't censored the story.
and now, Deciding factor: letter House Judiciary Committee, Facebook/Meta Chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg Acknowledged“Over the course of 2021, Biden Administration officials, including from the White House, repeatedly pressured our team for months to censor certain COVID-19-related content, including humor and satire, and expressed significant frustration with our team when we did not comply.”
“Ultimately, it is our decision whether to remove content and we stand behind our decisions, including the COVID-19 related changes we have made to enforcement in response to this pressure.
“I think the government pressure was wrong and I regret that we were not more vocal about it.”
As Zuckerberg says, pressuring the media to censor discussion of COVID is despicable, and a classic authoritarian tactic, similar to how Putin blocked Russian media. Reveal the casualty figures from the invasion of Ukraine.
Did Harris make these decisions? Of course not. But she has not expressed any regret or reservations about these decisions. She is just as responsible for them as Biden.
Donald Trump is no angel, but his four years as President of the United States have shown little evidence of authoritarian rule or tendencies. Democrats, whose constant goal is absolute power disguised as benevolence, are as comfortable with authoritarianism as a child snuggling with a favorite doll. To beat Harris, Trump will need to expose her for all her antics. That shouldn't be too hard.
