So Jonathan Capehart, MSNBC host, says Americans have "given up on democracy and embraced authoritarianism".

David Brooks, the alleged "conservative" who invariably agrees with Democrats on almost every issue, agreed, saying the jobs were all coming back thanks to Joe Biden and that his job was to "preserve democracy" and resist "totalitarianism", neither of which are in the job description of the President as far as my copy of the Constitution suggests.

We don't have a democracy; we have a constitutional republic with limitations and a democratic component. Oh, and that component was originally only applicable to the House of Representatives and was limited to white male landholders. So where is Brooks and Dumb (Capehart) getting his information from?

I would call these two idiots but that is an insult to idiots everywhere.

Might I remind Brooks and Dumb that it was Joe Biden who implemented a government agency to suppress free speech, and in fact his own FBI demanded that social networks suppress free speech, going so far as to delcare Hunter Biden's laptop story "Russian fake news" when they had it in their possession all along? This was election tampering. How is THAT defending democracy?

I would remind them that it was Mr. Biden who sicked the DOJ on everyone present at the Capitol riot on January 6, and not just violent rioters but people invited in by the Capitol Police (as video proves) who merely walked around and took pictures. Some are doing DECADES in jail. These were political opponents. How is THAT "defending democracy"?

I would remind the boobie brothers that they launched a series of legal attacks on Mr. Trump from multiple angles, and we now have proof there was coordination among the various legal authorities in New York, Georgia, and with Mr. Smith in Florida. How is THAT "defending democracy"?

I would remind them of the sweetheart deal negotiated in the dead of night to get Hunter out of legal trouble with a plea agreement giving him a get out of jail free card for any crimes committed or that he would commit and that Hunter was clearly working on behalf of his father, sucking up foreign money like a vacuum cleaner. And when that failed Joe did the unthinkable and pardoned the cokeheaded whoremonger. How is THAT "defending democracy".

I would remind them of the cocaine found in the White House which nobody seemed able to figure out who brought it in.

I would remind them of the attack on Donald Trump with a shot missing his skull by less than an inch; the Secret Service clearly failed to do their jobs and that is almost certainly by design. The incompetence was not credible. How is THAT "defending democracy"?

I would remind them of the pro-life folks rotting in jail for simple, constitutionally protected protests.

I would remind him of the multiple IRS audits experienced by MAGA folks.

I would remind him of the MAGA folks who also suffered lawfare, such as Rudy Giulliani, many of whom went to prison over issues that were never prosecuted in the past.

I would remind these jerks about the Federal raid on Mar-a-Lago with orders to "shoot to kill" if anyone interfered.

I would remind them of Trump's arrest and perp walk and mug shot.

There is so much more and I've forgotten half of it or better. But if these two imbeciles think this is what democracy looks...

Meanwhile what of Trump's "authoritarianism"?

Trump never sent in the National Guard to quell any of the riots in Democrat states during his Presidency despite the fact they were burning down whole neighborhoods; he wasn't asked by the state Governors, and Trump was obedient to the separation of powers and Federalism. He couldn't act. Had he acted he would have been in much better shape politically as that would have been very popular, but he knew his limits.

Trump didn't force the reopening of the nation's economy after Covid despite the fact it was seriously hurting his political prospects. He obeys Federalism.

Trump did not prosecute a single Democrat despite having campaigned on "lock her Up" and Hillary had obviously broken multiple laws (letting her off the hook was a huge mistake, in my book, and emboldened his enemies). You cannot point to a single Democrat Trump went after with the law.

So what was Trump's terrible authoritarianism? Apparently challenging the election results in what at least to him (and to me as well as half the country) appeared to be a rigged election. Do notice Trump did nothing more than, say, Democrat Stacey Abrams had done, or that Al Gore, or multiple other Democrats in times past. But Republicans aren't supposed to do such things (in fact there was a consent decree by a judge banning any challenge to vote fraud for Republicans before Trump took them out of it). And Trump asked people to come to Washington to PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY protest. Those were his exact words. I would add it seems like Nancy Pelosi set this up to frame Trump. She was in charge of security there, and she knew it was coming. Trump offered the National Guard and she refused it. He even gave the order to deploy but the guy charged with implementing the order feared the incoming Democrats and their wrath more and simply ignored Trump. It was just another setup by the undemocratic Democrats.

Oh, and who is undemocratic and authoritarian? The Democrats just removed Joe Biden from the ticket when it became obvious he was going to lose and replaced him with someone their own party had no say over. But these two stupid men can't see that this was the authoritarianism and not anything Mr. Trump has done.

One of the tools of propaganda is the Big Lie; repeat a lie often enough and make it crazy enough and people will start believing it. That was the genius of Hitler's Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbles. That is what they have done, with the complicity of media morons like Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber here, to smear Trump as "authoritarian". But it's the Big Lie to hide the fact it is their people who are the true authoritarians. Trump is just a go who won't roll over for them.

The Left always  accuses their enemies of that which they themselves are most guilty. And they always find stooges like David Brooks to carry their water for them. Fellow travelers.

I hope and pray a conservative buys MSNBC; we need another Conservative outlet and clowns like these two deserve to be pink-slipped. Maybe they can learn what the average working class American has been suffering all these years from their favored policies.
