The far right is looking to undermine and destroy democracy in order to bring in a "Red Caesar" who would lead the USA in post-Constitutional authoritarian nationalist government.

'Red Caesarism' is rightwing code - and some Republicans are listening

Sounds about right..

I've often noticed the similarity between Caesar and Trump's "playbook", as had Mary Beard.

Revisiting the Caesar story, along with the aftermath, has been quite timely, and frankly disturbing.

"The fact that Trump lost in 2020 has just radicalized a lot of these people - it occurred to them that they might not win a proper election again," he said.

"That would mean that - excuse the language - they're shit out of luck unless there's some other path to power. That's where Caesarism comes in."

This week's hoax, eh? Good work.

I :heart; Q

This is coming from your boys, not mine.

In June, the rightwing academic Kevin Slack published a book-length polemic claiming that ideas that had emerged from what he called the radical left were now so dominant that the US republic its founders envisioned was effectively at an end.

Slack, a politics professor at the conservative Hillsdale College in Michigan, made conspiratorial and extreme arguments now common on the antidemocratic right, that "transgenderism, anti-white racism, censorship, cronyism ... are now the policies of an entire cosmopolitan class that includes much of the entrenched bureaucracy, the military, the media, and government-sponsored corporations".

In a discussion of possible responses to this conspiracy theory, he wrote that the "New Right now often discusses a Red Caesar, by which it means a leader whose post-Constitutional rule will restore the strength of his people".

Democracy is Marxism to these kooks

But here is the real problem...idiot:

""transgenderism, anti-white racism, censorship, cronyism ... are now the policies of an entire cosmopolitan class that includes much of the entrenched bureaucracy, the military, the media, and government-sponsored corporations".

^This is in fact true.



-------------------------
The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.
-BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is.
-They are both card carrying narcissists.
^These are PROVED facts.

The fish, like many weak minded people, wants big daddy to tell him what to do.

Those are in fact, merely the hot button triggers with which the Right manipulates you into giving them power.

if you weren't such a cultural snowflake, we wouldn't be in this mess

Why does it matter? What does it have to do with you?

You never see Trans people.
White people still get the nod when it come to favoritism.
Your party is out of control with the censorship.
Cronyism is just a generic word to fill the outrage gaps.

Admit it, in the long haul, none of this really matters, now does it?

Cheney's comments about the current state of DC are right on, as is this guy's comments.

We elected a sideshow Prez with Trump, and after he lost we are now dealing with sideshow frivolous politicians who put their own interests in front of our country's or their constituent's.

The Lincoln project ad is interesting, but hopefully Trump ages out before that nightmare could happen.
