CRAIGSLIST POST, ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 1ST, 2020, “Trump is behaving like Mussolini and despots that the US usually condemns.”

Trump is behaving like Mussolini and despots that the US usually condemns.

President Donald Trump is refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, threatening to shatter a tradition that lies at the heart of the democratic process in the US. There are serious concerns among scholars that Trump is putting America’s democracy in mortal danger. Combined with Trump’s relentless disinformation campaign, celebration of violence against journalists, and incitement of armed militias, historians and election experts warn that the president is mirroring the behavior of despots that the US generally leads the way in condemning before the world.

When asked whether he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power earlier this week, Trump suggested ballots would be thrown away.

“We’re going to have to see what happens,” Trump said when asked whether he would accept the final results of the election. “Get rid of the ballots and…there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation.” Trump has given the country myriad signs that he will not concede under any circumstances, placing the US on the precipice of a political crisis the likes of which it has never experienced before. The president has repeatedly pushed the bogus assertion that the expanded access to mail-in voting for the 2020 election — a move designed to protect vulnerable people amid a pandemic — will lead to widespread voter fraud.

Top experts on democracy have been warning for years that Trump exhibits authoritarian tendencies. But their consternation appears to have ramped up significantly as Election Day draws closer and Trump essentially signals that he plans to do whatever it takes to stay in power. The clearest parallel is that Mussolini was prime minister of a democratic coalition government from 1922-1925. During that time, he slowly chipped away at democratic institutions, insulting the press, using violence against the left, joking that he would be in office for 20 years, establishing a militia and a legislative body (the Grand Council) loyal to him. Trump has spent the past four years eroding democratic norms and institutions at an astonishing rate.

This is the way dictators come to power.

A new Craigslist trick to discriminate and silence those who do not propagate their agenda

A new Craigslist trick to discriminate and silence those who do not propagate their agenda. I thought the democrat/liberal message was all about democracy yet CL does the opposite.
I re-posted 4 of my commentaries, one after the other, 8/27/18, in the morning when I began my daily struggle on Craigslist. I learned you can post five “posts” in rapid succession and CL does not slow you down with a “you are posting too rapidly….” message.
This is just one sad reality that I had to learn since it takes me about 25 attempts to post before CL allows one to publish. It takes about 2 hours for my comments to be published..
I was not sure about it, but I have suspected that CL sometimes not only removes my commentaries before I actually see them published, but I also wondered if CL removed the record from my home page as well. Then, this day, I watched one of my commentaries vanish before my eyes.
This day I re-submitted as many in rapid succession as I could, kept going back to my home page, and could not remember how many I had posted and why I did not see the one I thought I surely just put up. For some reason one submission did not appear on my CL homepage when it normally would have.
You know how it is, not paying attention, sometimes one hits the wrong key or link without thinking, and then wonders, ‘did I do that wrong or did something else happen’?
In this instance, I wondered.
But watching for a few seconds, suddenly, there it was. As I stared at the line representing the “post”, on my home page, it disappeared before my eyes. In matter of seconds my commentary was listed and then wiped clean of memory or record. I saw it with my own eyes
I am persistent. Some call it stubborn but stubborn is when you are wrong or lying.
Persistence often exposes many things.
Like any other day, I copied and pasted a number of commentaries I had written. Using my new and improved location, “Do dem/libs know how stupid they sound?”.
As usual when submitting five in rapid succession, my sixth commentary was refused. The problem is that stupid CL message, “You are posting too rapidly…”, came up even though one of my posts was not posted, refused by CL and removed from records.
.Well, lat is the point. I did not post too rapidly, being rejected by CL, and then shut down for “posting” too rapidly.
How can see hell be so stupid? Did the management/administration go to liberal arts, stupefying school?
Does this happen to others or just conservatives in the balanced middle. Is it the balanced middle dem/lib/progressives hate?
I hope some day CL and the other lying libs and democracy-mongers get what they give to others.
Sad that it seems they already make their millions, at our expense, and when they get caught, they make more millions lying in their books. Who pays for all that? The dumbed-down, democrat voters, few as they actually are, pay for it all, and they do it with more than just money.
It is my contention that there are more ex-democrat voters than there are democrat voters, and it is this small, diminishing group paying dearly for tyranny’s work.
