Noam Chomsky: Trump Is Willing to Dismantle Democracy to Hold On to Power
Re: Noam Chomsky: Trump Is Willing to Dismantle Democracy to Hold On to Power
I think anybody who totally discounts her and bill's influence has an agenda themselves, tbh. Dems seem to like her, that's their prerogative, but I think some are allowing it to blind them to fact.John Bingham wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 10:04 am Fucking hell, still ranting on about Hillary Clinton like she's in any way relevant anymore and the past 4 years didn't happen.
GW Bush was far longer ago, you also think he has zero influence now?
The Kennedy family still have pull, for example.

What a load of total nonsense!phuketrichard wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 9:04 am Good read;
In general, no stone is left unturned in Trump’s campaign to dismantle democratic forms and hold on to power.While it’s still too early to predict the likely outcome of the November 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump continues to fall behind in national polls while pulling dirty electoral tricks in the hope of defeating Democratic challenger Joe Biden. Much of Trump’s hope for victory rests with his “law and order” campaign, which promotes lies about mail-in-voting fraud in order to preemptively discredit the election results if they are in Biden’s favor. In this exclusive interview for Truthout, Noam Chomsky discusses the national and international significance of Trump’s refusal to commit to a “peaceful transition to power” and his reliance on conspiracy theories.https://truthout.org/articles/noam-chom ... -to-power/Perhaps there is some slight comfort in the fact that we are not alone. Other major democracies are also decaying, also falling into the hands of leaders with traits of fascism, if not the ideologies (many, including leading scholars of fascism, regard this characterization of Trump as much too charitable).
The world’s largest democracy, India, is now run by a Trump-style wrecker, Narendra Modi, who is destroying Indian secular democracy and turning India into a cruel ethnocracy, while also crushing Kashmir.
The world’s oldest democracy, Britain, has not approached Trump’s demolition job, but Prime Minister Boris Johnson is trying to join the club. His dismissal of Parliament so that he could ram through his version of Brexit, quickly overturned by the Supreme Court, caused outrage in British legal circles, with charges that he was undermining the presumption of good faith on which the British constitutional order has rested for centuries. He has since moved on to violating international law — admittedly, but only “a little bit” — by reversing a crucial provision of the agreement he had just reached with the EU, which is now suing Britain for this breach.
God help us

Discounting the events of the last four years, you obviously don't have an agenda.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I don't think you'll need to worry about that.IraHayes wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 9:37 am “Peaceful transition of power” ..... do you really believe the left will concede defeat gracefully if they lose?

What power is that Trump guy going to "hold on to"?
The POTUS does what he's told to do. If not, he's replaced by another old white guy.
It's a purely ceremonial post.

Haha, you're doing precisely that every time somebody brings up Hillary.John Bingham wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 12:49 pmDiscounting the events of the last four years, you obviously don't have an agenda.
So Dems don't listen to her or Bill and all their connections anymore? Get real.
Perhaps you missed the word 'totally'? None so blind.
Hang Hillary and Donald world would be a better place, in my opinion.
Donald just the lesser of two evils.

This has zero to do with that shriveled up lady. You are... [Mod edit: no need for that]
