Not a vague generalization, but the Trump's Administration's words. they are taking over in the name of erasing "improper ideology." If anything is vague, this is it.

Small minds really believe this has something to do with DEI, the enemy created. If institutions in the US are limited by what the government approves of as "proper ideology" it is the Chinese cultural revolution of the 1960s, and more lately Putinism, all over again. The US is no longer the land of the free. “Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution.” Mao Zedong, 1926 “[The play] Hai Rui Dismissed from Office is not a fragrant flower but a poisonous weed… Its influence is great and its poison widespread. If we do not clean it up, it will be harmful to the affairs of the people.” Yao Wenyuan, 1965 “I was Chairman Mao’s dog. What he said to bite, I bit.” Jiang Qing on her role in the Cultural Revolution https://alphahistory.com/chineserevolution/quotations-cultural-revolution/

I already have, with cites. take by corruption and force, degrade and overpower, for his own benefit

This is believable to me, and in line with other actions of Trump. At the least, it is wholly incompetent and irresponsible. As one person who was doxed said: “The immediate remedy is to fire all the people involved in vetting this material. Their attitude was cavalier. They should be fired plain and simple. That’s step one. Accountability,” diGenova said.

it seems the order not to redact came directly from Trump When Trump said Monday that the assassination-related files would be released the next day, he said he had directed staff not to redact them. “I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything,” Trump told reporters during a visit to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. “I said, ‘Just don’t.’”

i recently read another definition of "being woke" - it just means not being an a$$hole.

I've seen you involved in enough threads with the evidence presented. If you didn't get it the first time, why should I believe you will get it this time?

Trump is just the gift that keeps giving ... to Putin. The Trump Administration has disbanded Task Force KleptoCapture and ended the Foreign Influence Task Force. Task Force KleptoCapture was a program aimed at seizing the assets of Russian oligarchs as a means to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. Foreign Influence Task Force was established to police influence campaigns staged by Russia and other nations aimed at sowing discord, undermining democracy and spreading disinformation.

No, I am being honest with you. What Trump is doing is a show of spectacle and power to keep his followers enthralled while he rapes the country.

This is just not true, despite what Trump and right-wing media tell you. They are lying to you. In fact, it was Clinton who in the 1990s made the biggest strides in border security. In an effort to bring a level of control to the border, Operation "Hold the Line" was established in 1993 in El Paso, and proved an immediate success. Agents and technology were concentrated in specific areas, providing a "show of force" to potential illegal border crossers. The drastic reduction in apprehensions prompted the Border Patrol to undertake a full-scale effort in San Diego, California, which accounted for more than half of illegal entries. Operation "Gatekeeper" was implemented in 1994, and reduced illegal entries in San Diego by more than 75% over the next few years. A defined national strategic plan was introduced alongside Operation Gatekeeper and set out a plan of action for the Border Patrol into the future. With illegal entries at a more manageable level, the Patrol was able to concentrate on other areas, such as establishing anti-smuggling units and search and rescue teams such as BORSTAR. The Border Safety Initiative (BSI) was created in 1998 with a commitment by the Border Patrol and the promised cooperation of the Mexican government. As painful as it might be, you need to come to terms with the fact that Trump has played you and he has conned you to get obsessed with immigration while he seizes all the levers of power in government. I know - Trump has made you very, very afraid.

the evidence would fill several volumes.

Yes, everyone wants to address illegal immigration!!! But let's do it legally! With a recognition of the dignity of all individuals. What the hell does the US stand for? I don't know anymore.

Sorry, I can't take seriously anyone who refers to a former candidate for the office of VP as "Tampon Tim." Your credibility is shot.

Trump scores another one for Putin and Russia Trump has shut down the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), the umbrella organization that provides support not only to Voice of America but also to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Martí, and Radio Free Asia, among other groups. As Max Boot wrote in The Washington Post on Sunday, “All of this amounts to a stunning and self-defeating repudiation of America’s legacy as a beacon of freedom around the world.” Russia’s reaction (made on Russian television on Sunday night) regarding Trump’s order: “Today is a celebration for my colleagues at RT, Sputnik, and other outlets, because Trump unexpectedly announced that he’s closing down Radio Liberty and Voice of America, and now they’re closed. This is an awesome decision by Trump.” Apparently, Trump (just like Russia) does not like media that criticizes authoritarian governments. Man, is Russia ever cheering for Trump.

I am in the position where I do not take at face value anything that Trump's sycophants say at face value.

You gotta be kidding. that's the only explanation I can find for your blindness to what is going on. Or maybe I just gave you more credit than you deserved.

Biden had a bill to address illegal immigration. Trump killed it. But they weren't given due process. It's a slippery slope the US is sliding down, where the proclamations of the president take precedence over the law. The law must survive any individual administration. More than a dozen judges have said Trump and Co. probably broke the law Trump is now averaging one such finding about every four days.

The credibility of the GrayZone pales in comparison to the Washington Post: Coverage of The Grayzone has focused on its misleading[25][26][27] reporting, its criticism of American foreign policy,[1][2] and its sympathetic coverage of the Russian, Chinese and former Syrian governments.[32] The Grayzone has been accused of downplaying and defending the persecution of Uyghurs in China,[33][37] of publishing conspiracy theories about Xinjiang, Syria and other regions,[38][39][40][1] and of publishing pro-Russian propaganda and disinformation, especially during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

You haven't understood a word I've said.

Trump terminates program tracking mass abductions of Ukrainian children I wonder if Putin said, "Pretty please?" And then there's Trump, kissing Putin's ass. Observers fear the move has compromised evidence of war crimes by Russian officials and will hinder efforts to rescue thousands of missing Ukrainian children. The Trump administration has terminated a U.S.-funded initiative that documents alleged Russian war crimes, including a sensitive database detailing the mass deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia, according to U.S. officials familiar with the directive and documents obtained by The Washington Post. The move has barred the transmission of evidence to prosecutors pursuing multiple criminal cases, including the International Criminal Court’s landmark indictment of Russian President Vladimir Putin for what it has called the “unlawful transfer” of children from occupied areas of Ukraine, U.S. officials said.

The threat to the rule of law. Trump has repeatably claimed he is above the law. There was that little matter of trying to steal an election through false means, and now with the deportations. Did you read his post? This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President - He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn’t WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties, HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING! I WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY. I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!! WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! He is going to attempt to do as much as he can get away with. Here's the problem: If he posits that he is not bound by the law, and the courts, those connected with him take their cue. He will be courted by executives and varying organizations, and corruption results. If one is not bound by the law, then no-one is.

The Dems never did what Trump is doing You will have to provide instances when the Dems silenced anyone, when they stole rights, and when they repressed. You are a champion bullsh*tter.

You begin with a false premise. No, not proven. No, not obvious. But in any case, irrelevant to what Trump is doing now. MAGA's willingness to let Trump position himself above the law has nothing to do with the Democrats, but rather they demonstrate a cultish devotion to him. As I mentioned, he has created an enemy for them and they believe he alone can fix it. If it requires him to be a dictator, they accept that. Cases in point:

Trump's illegalities pose a greater threat to the US

it's not rhetoric but what is happening. It's plain to anyone outside of the right-wing bubble of disinformation. The unpopularity of the Democrats can be put down to different things, but it is worth noting that the Republicans had worse numbers during the first year of Trump's first term. The percentage of voters with an unfavorable view of the Republican Party hovered around 60% in 2017, with a peak of 67% in August, according to Quinnipiac.
