The left is setting in up perfectly .They are lining up military leaders against Trump. They have this narrative that he will use the military to go after his political enemies . Major publications are calling him a threat ;a Nazi ;Hitler . Who could blame the people for rising up against an elected dictator .

Amid Talk of Fascism, Trump’s Threats and Language Evoke a Grim Past - The New York Times

Atlantic has articles saying he wished he had generals like Hitler The source is disgruntled former Chief of Staff John Kelly ;who revealed this tidbit in an October surprise 5 years after Trump allegedly said it . Kelly served Trump as DHS and Chief of staff . He resigned (or was fired ) in 2019 . That was about a year after Trump allegedly made the comment. 2020 he revealed in another last minute surprise that Trump called soldiers killed in WWII suckers and losers . The question is why would Kelly ;a decorated General wait a year or even a day to leave the administration of dictator ;Hitler Trump ?

So now they have ginned up fear . Enter the NY Slimes . They bring in 2 Harvard professors to instruct us on how to oppose a future Trump presidency. It is a call to mobilize .

The left is forecasting the threat and then will be shocked when it is a self fulfilling prophesy. Not only do they get to smear him now. But they set him up as well as the Steele dossier undermined his 1st term.

We saw how the left can take to the streets on Trump's inauguration day ;during the Floyd mostly peaceful protests ;and in the various ANTIFA insurrections. Were those just rehearsals ? Imagine a scenario that the professors describe where community leaders instruct the people to take it to the streets .

Now what does Trump do? Would Governor Walz allow the Minnesota National Guard to be deployed on behalf of Trump . Would any of the Dem Guvs ?
Would that force Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act as they predict he will ? And if he did ;how many of the military leaders ;some of whom believe that he despises the military ,refuse orders ?

The left has already gamed the scenario.

Disruption, destabilization, and violence are legitimized against a Trump dictatorship. Then if the scenario plays out they will say 'see we told you'

Apparently Trump is no longer Hitler . If he were then why are so many people in the business world and compliant press flocking to meet with him ?

Morning Joe and his co-host /wife Mika took heat from their cohorts at MSNBC because they met with Trump for an hour. Nobody was more vocal in name calling him Hitler and a Fascist then that duo.

They already had no ratings from the rest of America. Then they p*ssed off the libtards trying to salvage their show by sucking up to Trump .

MSNBC’s flagship shows Morning Joe and The Rachel Maddow Show have also suffered record-low ratings during this post-election recession. Late last month, Maddow saw her demo viewership sink to its lowest point since 2015. Meanwhile, this past Monday, Morning Joe had its third lowest-rated telecast since its 2007 launch and the smallest demo audience in over 17 years.

Business and social media titans Musk (X....(part of Trump's team) ;Zuckerberg(META) ,Bezos (Google) have all had pow- wows with Trump.

Long time Dem NetFlix boss , Ted Sarandos; who's wife served in the emperor's court as Ambassador to Bahamas and gave to Kam the Sham's campaign , met with Trump last week.

I'm guessing they don't want to end up shelling out big $$ bucks like ABC did when they defamed him.

OpenAI ;Amazon ; are all making donations to the inauguration .

Somehow I don't find that comforting. Too much like the "business as usual" we've all become accustomed to.

More $$ coming in as corporate cronies are trying to curry favors.

corporate cronies are trying to curry favors.

Yep. It's the sad reality of politics. I imagine it has practically always been that way.

[tomder55]

and in doing so ;Trump goes from the promise of draining the swamp into another swamp critter .

Zuck knows he screwed up with the Trump censorship and woke polices at Meta . So he will never have a the seat at the table that Musk has . But that doesn't mean he can't try.

In a stunning announcement he named Trump fan Dana White CEO of MMA 'Ultimate Fighting Championship ' to the board of Meta.

Zuck is also a MMA fan. As you recall ;he and Musk were going to settle their differences in the ring . (or at least that was the propaganda ) .
Musk has at least made the appearance of a rightward shift in META thinking.

Time Mag is very concerned the people can't be trusted to fact check themselves . We need big nanny to do it for us.

While conservatives and free-speech activists praised the decision, watchdogs and social media experts warned of its ripple effects on misinformation spread. “This type of wisdom-of-the-crowd approach can be really valuable,” says Valerie Wirtschafter, a fellow at the Brookings Institution. “But doing so without proper testing and viewing its viability around scale is really, really irresponsible. Meta’s already having a hard time dealing with bad content as it is, and it’s going to get even worse.”

Meta Ends Fact-Checking, Prompting Fears of Misinformation | TIME

So called community notes works great in X . If sufficient numbers of people make a comment contrary to the post there is an appendix added .

Now X is not as big . Some advertisers have pushed back on this approach ;along with their TDS ;and have removed ads from the site. I wonder if they will be so inclined to do so on Fakebook.

These sites have to decide if they are platforms or publishers . They can't have it both ways. If they want to be the town square then they have to let all have a say.

Clueless Joe made rambling statements about Zuck's decision to end fact checking .

REPORTER: Mr. President, would you comment on Meta's decision to end its fact-checking operations in the United States? Is that a good decision, in your opinion?

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Well, look, the whole idea of walking away from fact-checking, as well as not reporting anything having to do with discrimination regarding TPS, I find to be just contrary to American, justice American, the way we talk about one another. Telling the truth matters. I mean, it's a, I know I'm on national television, but you all are local reporters and national reporters.

I'm not, that's not a real question, but what do you think? You think it doesn't matter that they let it be printed, where millions of people read it, things that are simply not true? I mean, I don't know what that's all about.

It's just completely contrary to everything America's about. We want to tell the truth. We haven't always done it as a nation, but we want to tell the truth.

And the idea that, you know, a billionaire can buy something and say, by the way, from this point on, we're not going to, we're not going to fact-check anything. And you know, when you have millions of people reading, going online, reading this stuff, it is, anyway, I think it's, I think it's really shameful.
