The Authoritarian playbook - for gaining AND retaining Power
We know the playbook for gaining power. We see it in action. And it's working.

The Authoritarian Playbook for 2025

What is the authoritarian strategy for retaining power?

https://www.google.com/search?...gHVQ&sclient=gws-wiz

================================================

We all know, beyond doubt, that once gained the playbook will shift to retaining power.

This isn't a spontaneous thing. It's planned.

So far I have seen little herein and on the media about that. It's like one day at a time, and I think that's a fatal flaw in the era of Trumpism.

I don't like James Carville much, but sometime he's the one thinking ahead.

I loathe Scott King's analogy of why take a booger picker's advice on cuisine, but it fits with Carville.

But this is about political boogers.

Also, Musk claims he will fund a third party and oppose GOPers who vote for the BBB.

Is musk and the rest of us making a flawed assumption - that our vote will still count?

I wonder what the contrived “national security crises” will be that prevents mid-term elections in the U.S.
I’m sure the Project 2025 folks have that all worked out by now.

Just wondering, Mr. Shy, what part of the authoritarian playbook per the OP post's link has NOT been used by Trump - yet?

Mr. Shy, you've heard Trump bitching about use of the autopen - correct?

What if --- Trump is nothing more than the autopen for Heritage Foundation?

Ex-Project 2025 chief says Trump’s actions are beyond his ‘wildest dreams’

https://www.port.ac.uk/news-ev...s-influence-on-trump

Unlike Musk, Vought acts mostly outside the media spotlight. He is fully committed to a radical overhaul of the way the US presidency works – and his deep religious convictions have led him to believe there should be more Christianity embedded in government and public life.

He has vowed to “be the person that crushes the deep state”

When asked by Tucker Carlson what he thought of Doge, Vought replied: “I think they’re bringing an exhilarating rush … of creativity, outside the box thinking, comfortability with risk and leverage.”

I get it.

Trump isn't Big Brother after all.

He's Daddy.
