The link to this page was in a Washington Post op-ed by the esteemed and remarkable Jennifer Rubin, entitled "How JD Vance underlined Trump's worst vulnerabilities".
It's very good. Now, I'm not sure how I can spread this more widely, because my blog is not widely read (if it's read at all), but if I could spread it more in the mediasphere, I would.
What caught my eye was the quote that Rubin used:
“The goal is not always to sell a lie, but instead to undermine the notion that anything in particular is true.”
If you're wondering, here's the seven tactics of authoritarians:
- Politicizing independent institutions
- Spreading disinformation
- Aggrandizing executive power
- Quashing dissent
- Scapegoating vulnerable communities
- Corrupting elections
- Stoking violence
Remind you of anyone?
Let's hope America goes the right way.
