The US was never a democracy (the electoral college is not a democratic institution) but yes, things are getting worse

This will bring joy to the heart of those that have insisted for years that the United States was never intended to be a democracy. "It's a republic," they say with no real understanding of what that means...

In other news water is wet.

All you have to see is how he talks about the his idols, the leaders of China and Russia.

No Felon Kings

In our faces.

Of course he is thanks to Biden's not arresting him when he could.

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. The novel "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis in 1935 shows us how a fascist dictator rising power in America would use nationalistic and traditional values. He, in essence, predicted tRump.

And MAGA calls him a true American. There is nothing more un-American than an autocrat.

Three major new studies on the defecation routines of bears... ICE will be Amtracking people to a facility dubbed Denver Dachau and there will be headlines like, "Has Trump Crossed the Rubicon of Authoritarianism?"

Traitor Trump, the enemy within No Justice

Duh. As it it isn't obvious to anyone with a functional brain.

ffs report on something we DON’T know

The media, very much including NPR, has constantly downplayed the crazy and the fascism for ten years, all while the damage accumulated and the danger grew worse. I'm glad you're waking up to the danger, finally. It felt like being told you're overreacting as you watch yourself bleed out.

Everything rump touches dies!

And the GOP is letting him while gaslighting us

He is a symptom, not the disease. Hillary Clinton was right: There IS a vast, rightwing conspiracy of grossly wealthy and intensely ideological men who have been prepping for this for decades, chipping away at our democracy and grooming the public to submit to their rule without a meaningful fight.

I am confused as to why we needed studies to figure out that DJT's goal is autocracy?? It's pretty obvious to most of us

You are just now figuring that out?!?!

Gee NPR Just figuring this out now?

We don’t need any new study, or anyone else to spend and more time in their finite existence proving that which 1.) We knew a decade ago, and 2.) That which Trump himself confirms at every possible opportunity. Do we need ANY more studies revolving around these questions and answers? Seriously.

Christian nationalism has been working hard to dismantle our democracy since the 1950's. It's not only a danger to the US but is triggering global factions to rise and attempt the same. Chile just fell and if we don't demand more progress out the Democrats we will also fall.

Well no shit.

Duh

Project 2025 peeps billionaires GOP and other foreign/domestic opportunist fellas are working on taking out our country democracy and freedoms. That guy was the exact vessel everyone was waiting for.

Some fuckin' galaxy-brain work, there.

Our allies around the world are looking at us saying "how the fuck did this happen?? How did they elect this monster into office?" I even ask myself this everyday because there are many more Dem voters registered than Rep voters. IT'S BECAUSE 19 MILLION DEMOCRATS DIDN'T VOTE!!!! Way to go IDIOTS!!

Only if we had a system to stop him. 🤔

He's such a groper. So gross.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Yeah well and so he will die rapidly as an autocrat if that's the case.

We don't need studies, we fucking know!

Can’t be! For 10 years, millions of us have been called hysterical and alarmists.

Duh, so what now?? Stop pointing out the obvious and offer a solution!!! Democrats need to get stronger and bolder. We are never going to win if we keep pointing things out and then hiding behind the curtain. Age limits for all including ours and stop being afraid. Just DO SOMETHING!!

Ya, it's too bad there's nothing anymore can do about it.

You are "too late NPR"

And project 2025 mission is to privatize any government service. Just like Putin.

it's not slipping it already slipped

I'll give the world a hint. He doesn't see himself as "Ruler of America" he sees himself as "Ruler". He may be old but I'll believe he's on his way out only after it happens

Like I've said here repeatedly: It's going to take at least a generation to unfuck what he has done here this term. Waiting longer to remove him isn't going to make this any better.

Scary. Thank you for reporting on this.

And. NPR. Has. Not. Been. Helpful. With. The. “Both-sides.” And. The. Sanewashing. In fact, I’ll bet the article is littered w/“but some say,” “others believe,” and “appears to” when plain language would be stronger and more direct.

@maddow.bsky.social @maddowblog.bsky.social Gee-who does this sound like...oh yeah-all Republicans-especially trump!

Trump cares nothing for this country except for the refuge from inevitable incarceration for numerous crimes offered by the Constitution and his concierge Supreme Court. If removed from office, he immediately heads to NY for his sentencing for his 34 indictment.

I’m old enough to remember @npr.org spending 2020-2024 trashing Biden whenever they got a chance. Before that, it was trashing Clinton (“butter emails, amirite??”). Remember Obama’s tan suit? NPR does! NPR also helped W get us into Iraq. Crocodile tears, is what I’m saying.

They needed to do three *studies* to figure this out?

No, Really????

No autocrat like a dead autocrat. Coming soon.

Trump and MAGA. Ignorance is fatal to democracy.

So much easier to break things than build them up.

Why am I not surprised!

How many people could have told them that for free? Millions??

No one could have predicted...

So is every Republican and every America that votes for Republicans. They prefer a white supremacist dictatorship more than living in a free democracy.

Um... ya think?

Ha ha, it took three studies to figure out what’s been obvious to anyone with more than a single brain cell for years.

I'm glad they all caught up. I know that's a bit unfair but I'm def well-done & heading to burnt crispy by the folk who have the $$$ & power to end the 47 nightmare but keep looking around wondering what to do.

Question, how much effort and money was spent to figure that out? Ig Nobel prize winner.

Trump needs to be Impeached!!

Shocker. 🙄

Doh!

Trump AND REPUBLICANS are dismantling democracy at unprecedented speed. He isn't doing it alone.

Really? Never imagined that.

I am also saying this.

A little late to the party aren’t you. Nice to see you’re finally getting the balls to report this.
