This week, Jay Kuo examines the rise of “sadopopulism,” or how Trump and the GOP turn cruelty itself into a political weapon. And Todd Beeton unpacks Trump’s alarming vow to end mail-in voting, revealing his increasingly authoritarian view of presidential power.
Shocking the number of assholes that get off on that shit.
Forever.
His increasingly authoritarian view??? We are there. He IS an authoritarian. He LOVES to create chaos, uncertainty, pain & suffering and a lot of fear. He LOVES this. Look at what he’s done. America might well be irretrievable.
Sadopopulism comes after the masovote.
Trump doesn't have an "authoritarian view of presidential power". He just has the "view" that no one will stand up to him as he escalates his illegal usurpation of power that legally belongs to the states, the Congress, the courts and private citizens, that he, as president, doesn't actually have.
amazing just how many cruel fucks there are in the nation sad
“Increasingly”? The delusion of godhood remains. What’s changing is how much he can get away with as his MAGAts take over the government, courts, and military.
Part of the orange dictator's platform in '24 was "you'll never need to vote again ".
And the people cheered for him.

It's also highlighting how certain sects of the US population like the beating, the damages and the oppression, the only thing missing is ball-gags in their mouths...
It’s like the 1971 Stanford psychology experiment which proved that humans willingly would torture other humans. Trump has capitalized on our weakness.
And yet it’s ok with everybody. Of course we are all shocked, but nothing more will be done against him
There are people in this world that want *All* People of Color ☠️. This is a BBC Undercover Investigation. This Investigation maybe in the UK, BUT. These people are here too. In all levels of our government. #Share #TalkAbout #TheMeanToKillUS #WillWeLetThem? bsky.app/profile/isth...
It's Fascism. All of it. Power-grabbing divide-and-destroy agendas wrapped in flags and populist pabulum; hatred, fear, appeals to nostalgia while promising a new "golden age". Racist, sexist, "might makes right" mentalities. Crushing foes using tiny-minded goons who feel big bullying the "weak".
How about a follow back for this old guy fan?
magaland is ruled by terror, glorious leader wants to be feared,
Fascism is not authoritarian, Robert Reich addressed the difference.
He is following the Orban and Putin playbooks.
It's fair to say every single Trumplethinskin supporter, voter, enabler, champion or apologist is a gold-plated c♧nt.
It’s the 21st C version of Two Minutes of Hate
For those Takei followers outside the United States the president cannot end mail in ballots. The constitution allows states to choose the method and place for voting. Also America has three branches of government. Only weak and scared people take trump’s determination as authoritarianism
Increasingly? How can it increase anymore
Hey, George is diving into some heavy stuff here. He's pointing out how some politicians use cruelty as a tool to gain support, and also warning about threats to voting rights, showing a scary push for control.
