It's no better if you live here in the states. Those posting such things here are soon going to find themselves disappeared.

Who would have thought Ted Cruz of all people would actually make sense? ... well, kudos to him for speaking out.

Senator Ted Cruz says FCC acted like 'mafioso' on Jimmy Kimmel
The Texas senator affected a mobster accent to criticise how ABC was pressed to take action on the late-night host.

To be fair, those jokes weren’t very funny.

Thanks, MAGA.Brian Klaas: “The United States is now a competitive authoritarian system”
Is the United States still a democracy?
I would say the United States is now a “competitive authoritarian” system. This is political science jargon for countries that have the trappings of democracy, but without a level playing field.
In other words, there is genuine competition in the United States between political parties and democratic institutions persist, but the state is able to manipulate outcomes to its advantage, disadvantage its opponents and use state power in illegitimate or undemocratic ways with little to no recourse against it.
Political scientists continue to debate this topic, but few would classify the United States as a robust democracy. It is either a democracy in crisis that is barely clinging onto the label, or one that has tipped over the edge into competitive authoritarianism – and I believe it’s the latter."

Definitely on the verge of collapse. I don’t see how we manage a way out, but we’re on the precipice and the prognosis is bleak.

There will be a point that even many conservatives are like wtf?
It's not there yet. But there are signs that it's closer than I imagined

This looks like fake news to me and just more proof that the free press has always been the enemy of the people.

Assuming Trump has the attention span to read this bullshit, I encourage him to read this and defend Goebbels who is a great guy that happens to be unfairly judged by Antifa and other left wing radical communists.
