Political theorist Carl Schmitt argued that “core foundation of the political is the strict division btwn friends & enemies. In a dictatorship, "the other" is designated as the enemy. This division allows the regime 2 transcend normal legal boundaries & declare states of exception.”

The ability to murder, maim, & abuse publicly is only allowed to continue as long as the malignant narcissist is able to control the public’s fears, or their ability to think critically.

From w/in the #MAGA cult, citizen’s may look at protestors being murdered w/ relief that their “leader” would never do that to them. From the outside, citizen’s may see the violence as a motivating factor for righteous anger & action.

Fear, impotence, trauma, state-sanctioned violence, pervasive digital surveillance, economic retaliation, & psychological manipulation all feed into these perceptions of how the “leader” is seen, & the control he has over the ppl & the state. Pic: “In the Face Of Ice!”

Do not fool urself into believing that the Dictator cares about u, ur family, or ur city. The Dictator only cares about the “absolute power they can wield against u absolutely.” -Lord Acton

If the Dictator feels that u are not significantly loyal then what occurs in Authoritarian Regimes?

1933-1945: Children were expected to inform their Nazi teacher’s if their parents said anything ag Hitler or the Nazis. Once told, the parent(s) property was stolen, wealth taken by the state, or u would just “disappear.”

“until one day a cardboard box was delivered by the Nazi youth with the parent’s ashes in it. The bill for the torture, murder, & cremation was sent to the family of the victim. - The "Ashes in the Mail" Practice youtu.be/H8VHghs0M5I?...

Loyalty is measured only one way with a Dictator (I.e., malignant narcissist) bcuz they have no motivation to be held to the same standards of loyalty to their compatriot sycophants. Death is a means to an end, & more power.

Some #MAGA, bel that they have a direct line 2 their “leader,” that they could call him at any whim & he wld rush 2 fix any problem. Quest 2 Ask Urself: Based on the Authoritarian Playbook.. What about the probs, that the Dictator & his/her Regime has made due to incompetence/uncaring?

What about the men/women/children left to bleed on battlefields (all dictators start wars to gain resources, & more power; & they always leave their own people behind on said battlefield)?

What about our separation of powers, & how it has protected us for 250 yrs from tyrants & demigods, yet this Regime is trying to steal overwhelming, unchecked authority?

What about the corrupt judges, lawyers, civil servants, & military leaders whose only qualification is that they are loyal to the dictator? Incompetence is a must to deflect off of the ineptitude of said Dictator.

What about a Dictator Bypassing & ignoring Congress/Parliament to pass illegal Executive Orders as tho they are laws?

What about repression of free speech, protests, & political dissidents by arresting, imprisoning, exiling, or silencing political rivals, union leaders, & human rights activists?

What about the reliance on secret police, state-sponsored violence, or military force to instill fear & deter public protest?

What about the Promotion & forced hero worship of Mango Mussolini thro mass propaganda, state art, & public spectacles that portray the ruler as indispensable, wise, or heroic?

What abt the Nov 2026 election which Mango Mussolini altho having no legal avenue to do so, is set on cheating, staging a fake or heavily rigged election where opposition candidates are banned, harassed, or mathematically blocked from winning to create a false facade of popular legitimacy?

What about the history that is being rewritten by our very eyes & ears?

We are seeing this everyday in America. What disturbs u about what is presented & what can u do to stop the fall of American fascism?
