MSNBC says Biden's low polls are Trump's fault, warns of 'Trump's next coup'
2021-12-13
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] "Meet The Press" host Chuck Todd and his Sunday show's guests blamed President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family, the guy who bungled Afghanistan...
's abysmal polling numbers on former President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
and warned the American public of "Trump's next coup."

The segment Sunday began citing The Atlantic's cover story, titled "Trump's Next Coup Has Already Begun," by staff writer Barton Gellman.

"By way of foundation for all the rest, Trump and his party have convinced a dauntingly large number of Americans that the essential workings of democracy are corrupt, that made-up claims of fraud are true, that only cheating can thwart their victory at the polls, that tyranny has usurped their government, and that violence is a legitimate response," Todd quoted, asking "hyperbolic or fact?"

MSNBC analyst John Heilemann responded, "fact." He then supported The Atlantic piece's claims. "This is 30 million people right now who are ready to take up arms," Heilemann stated on-air. "You put that together with what the president, the former president I should say, and his allies are doing in the political realm, state houses, state legislatures, and the party apparatus to be able to engineer a situation where they are in a stronger position to pull off a coup in 2024 than they were in 2020. That's not hyperbolic at all. These are all facts."

#3  The UniParty seeks power entirely for its own sake.

We are not interested in flattening the curve, or slowing the spread, or saving Grandma. We do not seek equal opportunity or equality or diversity or inclusion.

We are interested solely in power, pure power.

What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal.

We are not like that. We know that no Governor or Mayor or District Attorney or Cabinet Secretary or Congressional Committe Chairman or Assistant Undersecretary to the Secretary of the Vice-Undersecretary ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.

There will be no herd immunity. There will be no end to the contagion. There will be no reckoning or restitution or reparations that finally settles the account and closes out the obligation.

Power is here, forever, everywhere, for Power's sake alone.

Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.

Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.

The object of lockdowns is lockdowns.

The object of freeing criminals to burn loot and murder is to burn loot and murder.

The object of persecution is persecution.
The object of torture is torture.

The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.

Freudian slip?
