TRUMP PROMISES TYRANNY

Trump's followers believe he is above the law, but they defend him as if he is subject to these laws. What laws are there, and what evidence is there that he is guilty of tyranny? Ninety-one felony charges, thousands of lies, and his unequivocal insistence he won in 2020 are evidence of tyranny. All the more so, his recent behavior, oral allusions, and admissions promise dictatorship and theocracy. He acts like he is above the law. However, the objective, scientifically verifiable evidence supports the warning that Trump is hands down guilty of tyranny.

Tyranny is a form of oppressive and unjust rule where a single individual or a small group exercises absolute power over others without regard for their rights or welfare. It often involves the abuse of authority, suppression of dissent, and the violation of fundamental human rights. The tyrant maintains control through coercion, intimidation, propaganda, or force.

Characteristics of tyranny include:

1. Authoritarianism: Tyranny often involves centralized authority, where power is concentrated in the hands of a single leader or a small group without checks and balances.
2. Abuse of Power: Tyrants use their authority to serve their interests rather than the common good. They may exploit their position for personal gain, suppress opposition, and undermine democratic processes.
3. Violation of Rights: Tyranny disregards individuals' rights and freedoms. Citizens may be subject to arbitrary arrest, imprisonment without trial, censorship, or other forms of oppression.
4. Control of Information: Tyrants often control the flow of information to manipulate public opinion and maintain their grip on power. They may use propaganda, censorship, or media manipulation to shape perceptions and suppress dissent.
5. Fear and Intimidation: Tyrants rely on fear and intimidation to maintain control over the population. This can include violence, threats, or surveillance to suppress opposition and dissent.
6. Lack of Accountability: Tyrants typically operate above the law, immune from scrutiny or accountability for their actions. They may dismantle institutions that provide checks and balances, such as an independent judiciary or free press.

Tyranny can arise in various forms, including dictatorship, absolute monarchy, or oligarchy. Throughout history, many societies have struggled against tyranny in pursuing freedom, justice, and democracy. Efforts to resist tyranny often involve organized resistance movements, civil disobedience, or revolutions aimed at overthrowing oppressive regimes and establishing more just and equitable governance systems.

In the run-up to the presidential campaign, Trump told his supporters that he would embrace all six characteristics listed here. This is not making America great again. This is tyranny, a regression to the nineteenth century, and a blatant promise of fascism and theocracy.
