Those of you who don't know what authoritarianism looks like...this is it. All the gaslighting about previous presidents "what about...!!! Is bullshit. I've been talking about the slide towards NOW for 30+ years. Those earlier concerns were nothing. Now we are HERE.

And this isn't partisan...this is "the time for choosing".Do you support the Constitutional Republic? Or this ONE PERSON. This one, malformed, narcissistic, completely non-empathetic (except for himself) version of an American wanna-be Mussolini...because that's what this guy is.

And here's the rub: if you don't see it, it's either because you are so blinded by your own partisanship,brainwashing or sunk cognitive dissonance costs or it's because things what you wanted all along. #unamerican

You can say "well other presidents did this or that" but none have come close to doing ALL this. You take the most extreme things previous presidents have done (the single most) and Trump combines those most extreme single things into his long list of most extreme things.

Gaslight yourself till you're blue in the face...I'm a person who knows his history...we've never had anything like this and this is EXACTLY what the Founders worried about. It's been a multi-decade slide to get here-but we're HERE.Everyone who is honest with themselves knows it.

@dccommonsense Dan, have you spent anytime in DC? Also would you not suppose a Capitol district representative of our federal government could fall under federal rule, if it fails meet safety we would expect. Be serious

@henryblowry Don't be a fool. Stop atomizing this guy's actions. Look at the big picture… The thing in totality. Does he (or his fans) care about limitations on his power?Does he care about constitutional checks&balances? Of course he doesn't and if you don't either you deserve to be ruled.

@dccommonsense How should DC be handled?

@DPSThomas Forget DC man! Don't fall into the trap of looking at this issue by issue. Look at the totality of what's going on!

@dccommonsense Fighting Crime is Authoritarian! We must keep anarcho tyranny where my children can't walk the capital without increasing risks of violence from repeat offenders. stfu you gilded cage pussy.

@zero_liberator Go take a class on the Constitution. You clearly are an authoritarian and just can't say it openly. You are a fool to not see the big picture. And you are hurting your country and your neighbors. Do not kid yourself. Go educate yourself instead. With real information.

@dccommonsense If ending against black violent crime is authoritarian then I guess that’s what I am Dan. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

@jsz0 "I guess I gave up the Constitution because I felt afraid of Black people.". You can't be the "land of the free "if you are not also the "home of the brave". Freedom requires more guts than that I'm afraid.

@dccommonsense Congress doesn't even read the bills their signing They're still debating the signage on the bathroom Judicial is having a coup The outgoing president gave everyone pardons We've been in authoritarianism already You just don't like THIS tyrant

@KrenkeDrew You're a fool.

@dccommonsense whatever dude. Study this book for your next podcast:

@higbee Clearly this is all you have. It's like "what about Obama!". You people are the reason we're here. I hope if we get out of this mess everyone remembers.

@zero_liberator And that's how the republic dies...with a passive yawn of "who cares?". People like you get ruled. Maybe you even like it.
