As polls show Donald Trump has taken a broad lead over U.S. President Joe Biden in five battleground states,
the Liberal media has shifted into full-panic mode, while making some not-so-subtle calls for the Orange Man's 'elimination.'
Whether real or imagined, Washington, D.C. appears to be heading for its own 'Caesarian moment' as the mainstream media is talking up the prospects of a dictatorship descending upon the fair land should a Trump restoration come to pass.
"Are you afraid of a Donald Trump dictatorship,"
asked Greg Sargent in an opinion piece in
The Washington Post. "Well, know this: The only thing you have to fear is fear of Tyrannus Trumpus itself."
Brace yourself, dear reader, for the remainder of the hit piece is littered with no less preposterous forms of government rule to describe Donald Trump,
without ever providing an iota of proof to support the claims: "authoritarian rule," "full-blown autocracy," Trumpian tyranny," "dictatorial intentions," "despotism," "threat to democracy," "antidemocratic menace," violent coup." and "autocratic threat."
It's just a little ironic that for all the Liberal handwringing over the possibility of The Donald seizing "autocratic powers" come November, there was no such consternation when Joe Biden behaved worse than any Caligula just hours after being elected in 2020.
The septuagenarian leader, alone at his desk and donning a black mask, signed off on dozens of executive orders that served as a death sentence for: a viable U.S.-Mexico border wall; the $9 billion, 1,200-mile Keystone XL pipeline from Canada that would have made America energy independent; biological males from using the female bathrooms and changing rooms, and a raft of other issues that were resolved without an ounce of congressional debate.
Incredibly, by the end of his ninth day at the White House, Biden had signed 40 executive orders, actions, and presidential memorandum - an all-time record.
Despite all of this, Biden is now acting like he is the Maginot Line against the possibility of all-out tyranny/authoritarianism/dictatorship/autocracy, take your pick.
Comment: Whilst this might simply result in a further filtering out of what remains of those with a conscience (as happened in various industries during the contrived coronavirus crisis), governments have come to rely on this kind of labour to function, and so the US perhaps miscalculated in thinking that it could get away with this kind of criminality (as it has done before) without consequence; because this may compel whistleblowers to come forward, or it may simply result in a significant reduction of capable lackeys that the hegemon relies on to function.
