Will we ever know just what the fuck happened with Merrick Garland? Now that Rome is burning, we'd really like to know what he was thinking. And why.
Straw Man Fallacy:
They twist your words into an absurd version so they can "win" an argument.
You: “We need clean air.”
Them: “Oh, so you want communism?”
It’s not debate — it’s deflection. #StrawMan #FascistPlaybook
Donald Trump in 2014:
“You know what solves it? When the economy crashes, when the economy goes to total hell and everything is a disaster. Then you’ll have, you know, you’ll have riots to go back to where we were when we were great.”
And of course, with riots will come martial law.
Trump’s foreign policy has one purpose: profit. His trade war is celebrated as “Liberation Day”—and as an investment opportunity for his billionaire buddies. #FascistPlaybook
Trump is setting up a new social order, including hotlines where government employees, schools, and the public can report anyone who threatens that order, be it “woke culture warriors” or “illegal aliens.”
Every fascist turns the state into a weapon to destroy his opponents. While he places himself above the law and rewards loyalists with impunity, the fascist claims the power to punish people he deems criminal. In this way, he destroys the rule of law without ever formally abolishing it.
Mussolini did this by capturing the legal profession. Hitler had an uncanny capacity for sensing the potential weakness in every formal form of law and then exploiting that weakness. #FascistPlaybook
