Trump 2.0 remains a live experiment in "can you do authoritarian consolidation entirely based on control of the information environment while repeatedly kicking your own coalition in the teeth"

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics.
This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

note how Trump on a daily basis is trying to normalize the idea that he's a dictator
Trump: "The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, 'You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.'"

Most striking thing about this clip is not Trump floating the idea of being a dictator (again) and claiming some want that.
The most striking thing is his sneering dismissal of the counter argument "freedom."
Only modern US president to explicitly oppose freedom. Should be the basis of opposition.

Q: During the campaign, you called Kamala Harris a communist, but the Biden-Harris admin never called for nationalizing a private company like you're proposing with Intel. Is this the new way of doing industrial policy?

He's a pathetic wannabe dictator who wants to distract you from his connection to the Epstein files, skyrocketing costs, and his weak job numbers.

New in PN: Goodbye, separation of church and state
"Now only churches get the benefit of not paying taxes *and* get to work to influence elections. Not because Congress changed the law. Just because the executive branch threw it in a random court filing. That's not how democracy is meant to work."
