Wake Up!

I imagine that you all have heard this quote from Maya Angelou,
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
There is a cult, we all know it, we see it everyday. It is no secret that they will do anything for their leader… anything.

 

Do you remember this from December? This from AP News,

As Donald Trump faces growing scrutiny over his increasingly authoritarian and violent rhetoric, Fox News host Sean Hannity gave his longtime friend a chance to assure the American people that he wouldn’t abuse power or seek retribution if he wins a second term.

But instead of offering a perfunctory answer brushing off the warnings, Trump stoked the fire.

“Except for day one,” the GOP front-runner said Tuesday night before a live audience in Davenport, Iowa. “I want to close the border, and I want to drill, drill, drill.”

Now, as he contemplates a second stint in the Oval Office, his fixation on fealty appears to be growing, and some people who have spent time close to the former president say they believe it will be the singular criterion for potential appointees if voters give him what he wants.
 
[…]

Already, conservatives are laying the groundwork for “shock troops” to take administration posts in a second Trump term, with one group, the Association of Republican Presidential Appointees, hosting a two-day “presidential appointee boot camp” Feb. 19 and 20 in the Washington suburb.

In another NBC News article,
Former President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that if he is re-elected he would have President Joe Biden indicted, a day before an appeals court hears arguments on his claim that presidential immunity protects him from prosecution for his role in the Jan. 6 attack.

In a post to his Truth Social platform early Monday, Trump said he plans to attend oral arguments on his presidential immunity claim before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Tuesday, and claimed that it was his obligation as president to find voter fraud.

In Germany they had the "Brownshirts" in Italy they had the “Blackshirts” and
Trump has his “Proud Boys” as they marched through the streets of Charlottesville with there burning torch reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.




Just what more do you need to convince you that Trump is heading us down the wrong path! He is a narcissist who is leading us down the path to authoritarianism and fascism. He has said it in his own words... Believe him! 



In an article in Alter Net article…

On Friday, Trump posted a video featuring an image of President Biden hog-tied —with hands and feet bound together.

Trump has previously posted doctored photos and videos depicting him physically attacking Biden, such as hitting Mr. Biden with golf balls.

It’s all part of Trump’s 5-step fascist plan.

[…]

Step 1: Use threats of violence to gain power.
Step 2: Consolidate power.
Step 3: Demonize a group of people and establish a police state to round them up into detention camps.
Step 4: Jail the opposition.
Step 5: Undermine the free press.
