A visibly stressed Rachel Maddow, who has been criticizing Donald Trump for over a decade, asserts that we are currently living under a “consolidating dictatorship.”
RACHEL MADDOW: “Life has not stopped and none of our personal lives have stopped. But also at the same time, life in the United States is profoundly changing. It’s profoundly different than it was even six months ago, because we do now live in a country that has an authoritarian leader in charge. We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country. And it sounds melodramatic to say it, I know, but just go with that for a minute, right?
Think– think in melodramatic terms. Think in cinematic terms. Imagine the cartoon level caricature of what you think a dictatorship looks like. I mean, it’s secret police, right? A massive anonymous unbadged, literally masked, totally unaccountable internal police force that apparently has infinite funding but no identifiable leadership. And they act in ways designed to instill maximum fear and use maximum force.
I mean, when you imagine an authoritarian country, right, what you imagine is masked secret police breaking people’s car windows and snatching people off the streets and out of church parking lots and courtroom hallways and taking them away with no charges, no notice, no paperwork, no explanation, not letting them see lawyers, and then moving them secretly to what are effectively black site prisons where they won’t tell you who’s there and where no one is allowed in to see what’s going on. Right?
And anybody who points out that Russia tried to help him win the one before that should be criminally charged for saying that, even though it’s true.
We are not heading toward something like this. We are there. It is here. It is the environment in which we are now living. And so, given that you now live in a country with an authoritarian leader, the question is what can you do for your country? The question is no longer how to prepare for this risk or how to try to avert it, but rather how to fight it now that it is here and in effect.”
I’m getting that familiar feeling that Madcow is the next one to be let go.
If only someone had deported this illegal (not fed him to an alligator) a mother who was around the same age as Rachel, and her 11-year-old daughter would still be alive. Deport more criminal illegals, and do it faster.https://t.co/aPaN0gdyfE
