This is #Fascism

... just to name a few ... have all been warning, reporting, and predicting all of this - relentlessly - for years.

Yes, it is very bad - but it will get worse.

The mid-terms of 2026 will be a bellweather.

even if civil-society catches a break this fall - its going to be a long fight.

#Historian #RuthBenGhiat Warns Trump Moving Towards #Dictatorship Faster than Puton Orban and Ergodan

#FascistUSA

"What’s clear is that autocrats everywhere are becoming more emboldened because they know that they will encounter no real consequences from the Trump-Musk administration for their aggressions. They know that the #UnitedStates government is trying to destroy #democracy at home and around the #world."👀 😢

#Episode213: The Shallow, Power-Flattering appeal of high Status #Resistance #Historians

#AnneApplebaum , #TimothySnyder, #RuthBenGhiat , etc. have become liberal-friendly experts on #authoritarianism.

Citations Needed looks at the advent and influence of MSNBC-approved #historians dissecting their SELECTIVE #antiauthoritarian posture and discussing how their work does little more than polish their careers and provide cover for U.S. and U.S.-allied #militarism.

Later on, is guest #GregGrandin (upcoming #book in April 2025)

They had 107 days.

The #OrangeShitGibbon has been operating for decades, backed by #oligarchs and #Fascism the whole time.

This moment has been coming for a long time.

Blaming #KamalaHarris is like when you had the big party in High School while your parents were away and
blaming the last kid to show up to the party - for you getting busted when the cops show up.

#RuthBenGhiat also #exposed the real #purpose a #claim repeatedly made at the event.

When speakers claimed that “#they” had tried to #assassinate #Trump, she responded: “The #purpose of this is to #conjure a #threat #environment sufficient to #justify #authoritarian #action if they win. Old #trick of those #planning #coups as well.”

"The U.S. Naval Academy’s history department invited NYU historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat to give a guest lecture this month about what happens to militaries under authoritarian rule, then the Heritage Foundation and other right-wing figures launched a pressure campaign and the academy disinvited her."

“That’s the big question,” #RuthBenGhiat said, adding that it depends partly on #Trump’s ability to impose party #fealty, #intimidate critics & install competent bureaucrats who are effective at using levers of #power to advance his personal aims.

“It is about criminalizing #dissent,” she said. “There is a method to his madness in that he has taken people on a journey of #indoctrination.”

“He’s actually rehearsing, in a sense, what he would be doing as head of state, which is what #Orban does, #Modi is doing, #Putin has long done…Just as there’s a divide now because of this #brainwashing about who is a #patriot & who is a #criminal about #Jan6 …In the same way, telling the truth in any area— #journalists, #scientists, … anybody who is engaged in objective inquiry, prosecutors, of course—they become criminal elements & they need to be shut down,” #RuthBenGhiat said.

#autocracy

An expert who studies #authoritarianism & #fascism said #Trump’s rhetoric about criminalizing #dissent is familiar, & could carry serious implications for the country if he’s elected president.

“This is out of the autocratic playbook. As autocrats consolidate their #power once they’re in office, anything that threatens their power, or exposes their #corruption, or releases #information that’s harmful to them in any way becomes illegal,” said #RuthBenGhiat, a historian & professor at NYU….
