Now this is proper authoritarian regime behaviour

Trump appointee fires January 6 prosecutors and issues threat to FBI agents

There is nothing a narcissist does better than hold a grudge and then seek revenge on those they believe have slighted them.
He has the wind behind him now with no self restraint. It is not looking good.

Most of their behavior thus far has been pretty par for course.

Banana republic vibes.

How is this not being screamed by every sane journalist in the US and around the world?
Why are we still treating this like it is normal?

Aye, ‘tis that!

Bit like Charles the 2nd

What will be interesting about this sort of thing is not the perfectly predictable reaction of the typical BlueSky user but whether it shakes the blind unquestioning obedience of any of the Americans who voted Trump in.

The answer to that is not so far. Republicans are falling in line and MAGA is cheering it on.

Especially the fact they don't even seem to be trying to hide what they're doing.

In plain sight.

It's actually quite frightening and no one seems to be doing anything to stop them (him). Thankfully we have Sophie stories and photos to keep our blood pressure down ❤

What is happening in USA is very worrying now. The vindictiveness being cheered on on X is horrifying. X has turned fully into an extreme right wing echo chamber.

We are truly entering into an Orwellian age where political speak needs to be understood as the opposite of its stated meaning. https://realmsofmemory.com

Let's try and reassure ourselves that those FBI remaining will doubtless be compiling files on him, and others, as we speak, as they wait for a return to some kind of normality where their pursuit of traitors can continue. I'm sure they'll have stashed important files very very safely somewhere.

It’s chilling

It’s odd that Americans seem to accept this behaviour so easily.

Are people too afraid to object? Are media companies, even in the UK, too afraid to report anything critical of Trump?

He’s just being allowed become a dictator- no one willing to stand up to him. Bizarre watching America implode

It's truly appalling what's happening over there, with little or no pushback from the opposition, nor from the MSM. Now he has tarrifs on the EU in his sights.

Is that person a Hapsburg perchance? Definite ideas above what’s democratic. #nicheHistoricalReference #DivineRightOfChins

It's full on fascist

dianadp.bsky.social•39 days ago

Ah yes, who is surprised?
