  5. ‘WHY PRESIDENT TRUMP IS AN OXYMORON’ johnpdougherty.com/2019/06/18/ but who is the chief demagogue living in the shadows of corporate finance and business responsible for the psychopathic narcissists leading the exponential growth in fascist cults? Murdoch, Mercer, Koch, Mogilevich,… #TheDemagoguesOfEmpire

  6. The cynical #demagogues who are conquering one country after another can only be so successful because our #culture is in retreat. We have replaced our #humanistic #ideals with money and are increasingly surrendering our inner world to the #economy and the #entertainment industry, wasting our time and energy on #trivialities.

  7. “The loss of the liberal class creates a power vacuum filled by speculators, war profiteers, gangsters, and killers, often led by charismatic #demagogues. It opens the door to totalitarian movements that rise to prominence by ridiculing and taunting the liberal class and the values it claims to champion. The promises of these #totalitarian movements are fantastic and unrealistic, but their critiques of the liberal class are grounded in truth.”

    Chris #Hedges, “Death of the Liberal Class” 2010.

  18. The Plan to Silence Dissent
    Building off a bipartisan push to punish pro-#Palestine protesters, #Trump has a broad crackdown ready to implement—including deportations.

    by Sophie Hurwitz
    November 15, 2024

    "Donald Trump has made it clear that there are groups he’d like to punish.

    "Much attention has been paid to the president-elect’s planned crusades for his next term against #immigrants and #transgender people. But less discussed has been another group on the list: #protesters. Building off the bipartisan crackdown on #AntiWar student dissent last year, Trump has made clear he hopes to discipline, and potentially prosecute, #CivilDisobedience with increased force.

    "In May, he promised a group of donors that 'any student that protests, I [will] throw them out of the country.' Trump hoped this would serve as a warning. 'You know, there are a lot of foreign students,” he continued. “As soon as they hear that, they’re going to behave.”

    "This is more than just bluster. Reuters reported that sources said Trump hopes to follow through on the promise on day one of his administration, by signing an executive order prioritizing deporting 'international students who support Palestinian militant group Hamas and have violated the terms of their student visas.'

    "In Trump’s first term, 'his instincts were to bring as much federal power as he could to bear on essentially peaceful protests,' Jamie Kalven, founder of Chicago’s Invisible Institute and a journalist who has studied First Amendment law for decades, told me. This time, there will be fewer guardrails. 'It was complicated enough before Trump was elected. Now you’re going to have various #demagogues in Congress and the Trump administration actually bearing down in various ways on universities and on university students, seeing it as the bastion of the #EnemyWithin.'

    "Given how it’s been under #Biden, it unfortunately normalizes what Trump is then allowed to do.

    "Many of the plans for targeting protesters are taken from tactics employed by Democrats in recent years. For years, #PalestinianRights activists in the US—and Palestinians in the US, whether activists or not—have often been smeared as terrorists and threatened with deportation and imprisonment. In 2023, a wave of protest was met with a #crackdown. The Department of Education pressured schools to stop pro-Palestine student organizing, as Mother Jones reported in September. Dozens of universities across the nation instituted strict new disciplinary codes prohibiting many forms of public assembly. Over 3,600 protesters were arrested."

    #DemocracyNow, October 29, 2024

    "We take a close look at Donald Trump’s campaign and racist rally at #MadisonSquareGarden with filmmaker Marshall Curry, who attended the rally and also directed the short film 'A Night at the Garden,' about the 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden, and notes, 'The #demagogues in 1939 used the same tactics that we see today.'"

  29. @zazzoo Agree with you! It's a mental issue, fueled by manipulatively suggesting imaginary threats or boosting existing fears in people unable or unwilling to conceive available information through scientifically proven facts, when the information is out there for everyone, but perceived as being too uncomfortable to consume.
    As the folie à deux definition already proposes: Groups of people hit with shared psychosis at the end of the day just need to be separated from the source fueling their psychosis.
    Or even more simple: The source of their psychosis needs to be separated *from them*.
