This should alarm you.๐Ÿšจ

#Trump is now using 'Day One Dictator' as a campaign slogan.

It won't be long till he drops the "Day One" part.

PatriotTakes:

Right wing host at Trump rally: โ€œHow many people here support Day One Dictator?โ€

MAGA supporters raise their hands and cheer.

@GottaLaff They are who they show themselves to be

@GottaLaff

Ohmygod seriously, lock him up. Wow.

@jenna He in no way should be allowed to run for any office
@GottaLaff @jenna Day one and all the days that follow. Wow, when do these people stop supporting?
@GottaLaff This? This gives me hope. Because while MAGAts are cheering him on, this is the kind of talk to make non-voters wake TF up and do their part to save democracy.
@mowm34 @GottaLaff This is my main argument to young folks disillusioned by the entire process: itโ€™s your future your voting for. Then I try to explain what it was like living through the cultural revolution, killing fields, Pinochet, Cold War, etc.
@GottaLaff Subtle point in language, is that on day one or from day one.
@GottaLaff El Douche
@urbanfoxe So much more dangerous than just being a douche
@urbanfoxe @GottaLaff As someone who teaches 20th century history, thanks for this!
@ianhecht @GottaLaff it's not mine. I think I got it from.the bird place circa 2018. It is even more apt now though!

@GottaLaff

HOW DARE HE??!!!

@bronakins How dare his idiot minions applaud!

@GottaLaff

Despite his idiot minions, this kind of talk has to be turning off everyone else who votes, doesnโ€™t it??

#trump

@GottaLaff

He'll just lie and say "I never said 'only on Day One'. I always meant 'from Day One'."

@hugh You could have stopped after "Lie"

@GottaLaff

I think I'd rather have left that out, and just been specific about this particular lie, when - just possibly - some magans will realise what a disaster they will have brought upon themselves.

@hugh I was being facetious

@GottaLaff

But it's true. His lies are more and more non-stop, and projective, like "Joe Biden is a threat to democracy"!

I fear he (and the New Agers, and the Post-Modernists) have created a mindset, a zeitgeist even, where truth and reality don't matter, only getting what their clique wants.

@GottaLaff He has done this a lot - repeating unthinkable ideas/phrases over and over so they lose their shock value and become normalised, all while sounding like he's joking. Two things scare me: That for both him and Putin, him winning in 2024 is of existential importance, and that of the 9 or 10 MAGAs I know well - all well-educated white collar professionals - not one has turned their back on him.
@GottaLaff systematic desensitization
@maskedscheduler Correct, which is why I keep trying to remind people that we need to be alarmed.

@GottaLaff

Jesus H Christ. A new low for MAGA morons.

@RodneyPetersonTalent One that can lead to fascism and Dictator Bonespurs if the electoral college has anything to do with it.
@GottaLaff I fact checked it, because I couldn't believe it...
@GottaLaff
He'll be a dictator on day one. It's the only bit that will get dropped

@GottaLaff Oh that's an easy rhetorical chain to slide, isn't it.

"Day One Dictator" as a nickname for Trump to "He'll be a Day One Dictator" to "He'll be a Dictator From Day One"

all while the MAGAts continue to cheer, starting out by cheering Trump in particular, then cheering dictatorship over the Republic in general.

So very easy.

@GottaLaff

Maybe he will be a one day dictatorโ€ฆ

@xs4me2 He should be a NO day dictator.

@GottaLaff

Maybe he could do a parade in an open limo in Dallas one dayโ€ฆ

@GottaLaff

I think we're at FPCON: BRAVO right now with CHARLIE and DELTA tailing closely!

@GottaLaff This can alarm only people who aren't already this level of alarmed.

@GottaLaff *heavy sigh* it was always going here... getting to this point

Always...

@Aviva_Gary Oh of course, and now he's using it as a campaign promise.
@GottaLaff The crows is white and mostly male.
@IveyJanette As always. Disgusting.
@GottaLaff And he's dissing everyone just like dictators do.
@GottaLaff watch it morph into โ€œDictator one day at a time.โ€
@GottaLaff
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE that in the 21st century, "Dictator on Day One" from a candidate facing 91 felony indictments is a winning message.
@GottaLaff
They donโ€™t just hate Democrats, they hate democracy.
@Woodswalked Yes, they've made that clear for years.
@GottaLaff These folks are good with a dictatorship because they can't win with fair elections. A majority of voters do not like their policies
@mrpinkly Yes, but the electoral college cares nothing about the popular vote. That's what worries me.
@GottaLaff True. I am just thinking about the percent of people who actually like the idea of a dictatorship
@GottaLaff Does that make people attending these rallies part of a seditious conspiracy?
