The Declaration of Independence concluded with the formal declaration that the colonies were "free and independent states" and that they were "absolved from all allegiance to the Crown

By aggrandizing their image, dictators allow their citizens to 'bask in the glory of others' to claim just a little glimmer of that godlike shine for themselves. That is also part of the 'cult-arsenal'.

I have lost both my parents to Murdoch’s and 🍊🤡’s lies by trying to gently question the claims and actions. They’re too far gone into the authoritarian vortex.

Too bad the Cheetolini is really bad at maintaining a good image, he continues to look like an idiot.

The only thing Trump is growing is his bank account. But honestly, I would have thought it would be more appropriate if his picture had been been hung on the Post Office wall that features the top ten criminals wanted in the USA.

Reminiscent of the last page of "1984".

Is this for real. Reminiscent of a different time and place.

I read once about WW2 -

One generation to sacrifice

One generation to remember

One generation to forget!

What is USA coming to?

Too bad the world sees Trump as a bumbling idiot. His image is on a crash course with hell.

sheethaduskrunner.bsky.social•42 days ago

Dictators do not need the rest of the world to accept that image - they need a relevant proportion of their citizens to believe in the lie.

We need to spread the truth.

sheethaduskrunner.bsky.social•42 days ago

How can we make people less vulnerable to this dictatorship bait? Part of this is simple knowledge and understanding (= spreading the truth), but another large part is respect and appreciation for the individual. Because it is people with weak self-esteem who tend to fall for it.

This is why the far right has made so much use of the legacy media platforms—AM radio, billboards, newspapers, church bulletins… places where propaganda cannot be fact checked in real time and are supposed, known “safe” sources, familiar to “real” people. The regime’s teats for the cult to suckle.
