Oh, dictator support...?
Why do people support dictators? How do dictators come to power? What's the difference between a dictatorship, an autocracy, and authoritarianism? What are the most common personality traits found in tyrants and dictators? Is Xi Jinping a dictator?
Ok, so if you could answer those, this video is a review. If you could not, this post is for you, Constant Reader. I'm talking about all those of you who do not comment, those who may not follow this blog but drop by once in awhile, all those people who somehow enjoy my rants. This post is literally for you. Because you and I both keep asking ourselves “how the fuck did we get here?”. And the answer may be in this video.
Mango Mussolini said he'd be a dictator on day one and people did not believe him. And they let him become president for a second term. Because fuck them.
XOXO
P.S.:
Does it sound familiar?
I see stupid people, easily scared people, gullible people, people who fear 'other' and they are all casting votes for a cult leader liar rapist racist traitor.

We all see them, babes.
DeleteWe all see them. The problem is that they're going to destroy the country out of grievance.
XOXO
I love this woman!!!!! She is always brilliant. But the part that got me was the meme chart at the end. And yet the GOP dismantles the Department of Education. Because? They want people to be dumb, misinformed and uneducated because they are easier to be manipulated and told what to do, what to believe and how to vote, all while not noticing they are hurting themselves. The GOP doesn't give to shits we will be the dumbest, uneducated and least healthy, because of the worst, miserable stinking healthcare system in the world. They will have us right where they want us. Time to wake up US!!!!!
ReplyDelete100&, Mads. 100%.
DeleteShe is fantastic!!
DeleteAnd an expert, so the way she lays it all out is brilliant. And that chart is sadly true and some of the poorer (Repug) states are included there. The Repugs only care about money and the ones in government could care less about their constituents.
XOXO
My mood is very low this morning. Too much stupidity in this world.
ReplyDeleteIt's EVERY DAY.
DeleteEvery day there's something more stupid, more asinine, more infuriating. And we never get the good news that he choked in a big Mac and died.
XOXO
Includes family members. Hahaha. We are actually seeing the death of the Republican party, and it's going to be very messy for them.
ReplyDeleteWell, it better dies quickly because the country is going to be in shambles if it takes too long...
DeleteXOXO
She's brilliant, isn't she? The meme is true, and Maddie hits that truth with the reason behind all the things the GOP is doing, the chaos they are creating. The GOP has been chiseling at the Dumbing Down of America for decades now. It's why they hate the universities, why they are killing research, why they are killing the departments which were put in place to help the average citizen.

P.S. Go to YouTube and watch Alexandra Billing do "Mr. Cellophane." This is why inclusion matters, this is why it's important to be seen. it's a topic more for your blog than mine. 😘
xoxo
She's incredibly articulate.
DeleteAnd you are right: it's not just the last six years. The GOP has been sowing the seeds for this for decades.
And I'll check Alexandra!
XOXO
The statistics are sobering for the “greatest country in the world.”
ReplyDeleteIsn't that absolutely flabbergasting????
DeleteThis is the kind of people who talk about 'useless spending' have no idea about. And they'll never know at the pace we're marching towards the abyss...
XOXO
America should take a lesson from Korea and Yoon and Peru and Castillo. Both countries met the challenge of men hell bent on staying in power and prevented them from doing so. The people and institutions of Korea and Peru did more to protect their democracy than we have in the United States. Instead we are like Venezuela and Maduro :(

I know right????
DeleteThey stifled those strongmen on the bud. The United States have let Cheeto in power again by a combination of stupidity, entitlement and ignorance.
And don't think that Maduro's model is too far fetched. Milei comes to mind, also.
XOXO
So, stupid people are gonna do whatever the hell they want, unless smart people teach 'em different. Well... than let's do away with the Department of Education immediately! My dear... we live through these days. Let us walk with grace. Let not be deterred from our mission... to have a damn good time! Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely bonkers.
DeleteThey do want the populace uneducated, of course. And a friend was telling me yesterday kind of the same: we (the gheyz) have been through some terrible times. We'll make it to the end. But it's not going to be easy...
XOXO
