DeSantis is like a crazy covid murderer, he would worry anyone who had a brain.

Civil war expert recoils in horror at interviews with Trump fans: ‘They don’t want democracy anymore’

Barbara Walter, a University of California professor and an expert on civil conflicts, recently wrote about the political volatility in the U.S. since the Jan. 6 insurrection, which dropped the country into the anocracy zone, and she told CNN the riot had made the deadly risks from Donald Trump’s lies “impossible to deny and ignore.”

“Anocracies are neither fully democratic nor fully autocratic; their citizens enjoy some elements of democratic rule (e.g., elections), while other rights (e.g., due process or freedom of the press) suffer,” Walter wrote for the Washington Post. “In the last weeks of Donald Trump’s presidency, the respected Center for Systemic Peace (CSP) calculated that, for the first time in more than two centuries, the United States no longer qualified as a democracy. It had, over the preceding five years, become an anocracy.”

Walter and others who study civil conflict have been sounding the alarm for years, but she said no wanted to believe the risks, but she said Trump and his right-wing media allies have corroded trust in democracy itself with already fatal results.

“Citizens do believe what they are hearing and if they hear it long enough and consistently enough and if that’s all they hear, they absolutely don’t think it’s a lie, they think it’s the truth,” Walter said.

“You know, they’re good people,” she added. “They are trying to do what they think is right. It’s the leadership that’s cynical. It’s the leadership that knows better who is feeding them lies consistently. They’re priming their supporters to believe that democracy isn’t worth defending because they don’t want democracy anymore.”

How would we know that there was a successful coup attempt? Would all channels except Fox go down or willTrump come on every channel?

77 million idiots looking for a new leader

MBS has a very strange definition of “success”, don’t he though?!

Sadly, dumping the Original Swamp Monster back into the swamp will not drain that swamp.

GOP Governors Under Attack From MAGA Monsters They Helped Create

It’s unclear exactly why Trump decided to personally lend his support to a mutiny against a governor who, to that point, had really done nothing to provoke his ire. The ex-president’s endorsement announcement offered no clues. Not only did it lack the typical smears of a Trump foe, he didn’t mention Little once.

Must be the part of the swamp they dump the sewage in.

it will be like 2 pigs wrestling in the mud or should I say they are 2 pigs wrestling in the mud

It’s the capitalist system that is drowning in swamp water.

Question: Is the elephant taking Trump OUT of the swamp or putting him in? Intention is everything.

What’s the difference between a Florida swamp and a DC swamp? As far as i’m concerned they both produce the same FILTH!

Wait, DeSantis is running for re-election? I thought he didn’t believe in elections.

While early front runners rarely succeed, I like DeSantis a lot. We could do much worse look who is being tossed back in.

basically

Does the sign say, “New swamp thing coming soon?”
