Tell me about the fascists again

Matt Taibbi: "Democracy Dies in Daylight - Eight years ago the Washington Post pledged to save democracy, but now argues we need to be saved from it."

A month ago in the Washington Post, not long before the Colorado mess, neoconservative icon Robert Kagan wrote, “A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending.” We may accuse Kagan — husband of Victoria Nuland, co-founder of the Project for a New American Century, and co-author (with Bill Kristol) of the “benevolent hegemony” theory of world conquest that was the real reason for America’s Iraq invasion — of much. We can’t accuse him of not knowing history. The graphic was a bust of Caesar, perfect for a six thousand word opus on stopping Donald Trump at all costs, whose sniper-scope subtext was as subtle as the Bullwinkle float at the Thanksgiving Day parade. It could have been headlined, “Where’s Hinckley When You Need Him?”

I pointed out the same opinion a month ago.  The Kagan article has all the subtlety of Henry II blurting out "will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"  

Then there's the Maine Secretary of State who singlehandedly - without even the imprimatur of the Courts - decreed that democracy was too precious to allow Trump on the Maine ballot.  She followed this up with a "Let the People Decide" hashtag which just shows how broken these people are.

Extra - Spiked: "The year America became a banana republic."  "Time and again, Democrats accuse Trump of being an authoritarian threat to democracy, only to then show the world how it’s really done. They are the ones destroying democracy, even as they purport to be saving it."
