Ladies and gents, fresh and steaming, straight from the nether orifice of human ingenuity that brought you 20th-century crowd-pleasers such as Communism, Fascism, and Nazism….we are pleased to Introduce the greatest political scourge of the 21st century! Come one, come all, folks, feast your egos, nurture your prejudices, give in to your greed, your complacency, and your hatred! Competitive Authoritarianism has a catchy new name: TRUMPISM!!! And America, our City on a Hill, is leading thru way through the new century.
We’ll have new villains, new heroes, new propaganda, and, best of all, a whole new World War!
Stay tuned and enjoy the show, folks!
Turning America into a Competitive Authoritarian State
Robber baron government
Undermining Rule of Law
McCarthyism 2.0
Purging civil service and military of the opposition, Prosecuting the opposition, Press suppression
Institutions Weaponized against the opposition
Shock and Awe, Speed in dismantling checks and balances
Making friends with dictators, and foes out of liberal democracies
