What Stalin, Mao, Putin and Trump have in common

[WillJ8787]

They all declared independent Media(free press) enemies of the people. In Russia and China independent Media still does not exist even after a century in the case of Russia.
Beware USA, if you loose it you may never get it back.

They all did away with educated experts in their fields. In the case if Russia and China this lead directly to mass famine and the starvation of tens of millions of their citizens.
Beware USA, if you loose those experts who actually know how to do things(like understand and fight pandemic viruses​) the consequences could be severe for everyone, regardless of party.

If you don't know history your likely to repeat past mistakes. These were not insignificant ones at all.

Unfortunately, we let the ignorant vote. Look at our Republican friends here. That is a microcosm of what have as a nation.

Yeah, it's pretty dangerous territory when even Fox News is not allowed to criticize Trump's cult of personality.

Yes....and Trump is largely correct about that.

Difference being the "Progressive" members on your list there took over the media and made it a part of the state.

Trump has not, he's a neo-liberal....not a "progressive" .

Beware USA, if you loose it you may never get it back.

It's already largely lost. We're about to have "hate speech" laws any day now that the left is going to use to slander and destroy the various liberals in the country for being "racist" which just means not "progressive" enough for the liking of the comrades in charge.

They all did away with educated experts in their fields.

Trump did no such thing....you're a bald faced liar.

Beware USA, if you loose those experts who actually know how to do things(like understand and fight pandemic viruses​) the consequences could be severe for everyone, regardless of party.

It the "transphobic" biologist and medical professionals we're in danger of losing.

If you don't know history your likely to repeat past mistakes. These were not insignificant ones at all.

This is pretty funny coming from the left....as they do everything they can to get rid of old habits, ideas, customs and culture in the most bullying and authoritative manners they can. Fermenting their own "cultural revolution" in the style of Mao ......paving the way for our society to progress into a more equitable future for all!!

Because that turned out SO well when China tried it.

They do it all the time.....what the fuck are you talking about??

Can you NOT post a lie? I think you're totally incapable of being honest.

The Obama Administration and the press

At the same time, the journalists told me, designated administration spokesmen are often unresponsive or hostile to press inquiries, even when reporters have been sent to them by officials who won’t talk on their own. Despite President Barack Obama’s repeated promise that his administration would be the most open and transparent in American history, reporters and government transparency advocates said they are disappointed by its performance in improving access to the information they need.

"This is the most closed, control freak administration I’ve ever covered,” said David E. Sanger, veteran chief Washington correspondent of The New York Times.

But his administration’s actions have too often contradicted Obama’s stated intentions. “Instead,” New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan wrote earlier this year, “it’s turning out to be the administration of unprecedented secrecy and unprecedented attacks on a free press.”

I am standing within absolutely perfect weather, in my humble opinion.

Seriously, this is just about perfect: upper 70s, light breeze, blue skies, low humidity

You forgot to add the US's great emancipator (Lincoln) to your list. There are others who also seemed to have failed to make your list. Others who you seem to support even though those others did much worse than some of the names on your list.

Perhaps that oversight was because you failed to understand the actual premise you were attempting to postulate.

^^^Poor BoBo, the right-wing literalist. Dedicated to defending his cult leader all the way up to his crushing defeat next November.

No, BoBo, Fox does not do that "all the time", but when they do, your cult leader condemns them as an enemy of the people, the topic of this thread.

Now get back to your Trump butt-licking, lackey boy to the oligarch.

John Adams, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, and LBJ, and Obama, all went after the press. Adams and Wilson probably shut down as many newspapers as Lincoln.

No body likes critical press coverage and you conflate not liking it with actively​ calling it the "enemy of the people" the "enemy of democracy".

I'm sorry you don't understand what conflate means...wasn't that a 6th grade vocab test? Anybody remember that?

Trump is usa fat faggot who uneducate.

Just one question for you: Do you happen to be a reincarnation of Stewart Pidd?

When the propaganda arms of the Democrat Party like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, lie to the American people as they do everyday, they are enemies of the people.

Nahhh, they're just enemies of your pimples.

Try broadening your diet to include more than take-out pizza eaten in front of your computer screen. And get outside to breathe some fresh air.

Stewart Pidd is Rory. (He tried to hide who he was with his blatant affectation.)

The lies go on daily in a massive propaganda campaign against the President:

Brazen Lying Is Media’s Latest Escalation In Campaign Against Trump
As if orders went out from a central director, nearly every major media outlet flat-out lied about President Trump's speech.

By Mollie Hemingway
July 10, 2020

When Sen. Bob Dole accepted the Republican nomination for president in 1996, his speech hit on the themes of “honor, decency and straight talk.” He proudly mentioned the great Republican Abraham Lincoln and explicitly denounced racism.

“The Republican Party is broad and inclusive. It represents many streams of opinion and many points of view. But if there’s anyone who has mistakenly attached themselves to our party in the belief that we are not open to citizens of every race and religion, then let me remind you — tonight this hall belongs to the party of Lincoln. And the exits, which are clearly marked, are for you to walk out of as I stand this ground without compromise,” Dole said.

The speech was held up in 2016 as an example of how wonderful Republican candidates for president used to be before Donald Trump. So it’s interesting to also look back at how this speech was received by its critics. For example, then-Senior White House Adviser George Stephanopoulos called it “partisan, negative and divisive.”

Fast-forward 24 years to the present. Once again a prominent Republican gives a speech with themes of honor and decency and straight talk. Once again the prominent Republican explicitly and repeatedly denounces racism. The Republican praises Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, Frederick Douglass, the Wright Brothers, the Tuskegee Airmen, Harriet Tubman, Clara Barton, Jesse Owens, George Patton, Louie Armstrong, Alan Shepard, Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali, Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Irving Berlin, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Bob Hope.

And once again critics claim that the speech is “dark and divisive.”

This is why I think folks like you who believe this crap should see a therapist and get on a bit of medication. None of the above news outlets nor Fox news are the arm of any organized, formal off-shoot if any political party.

CNN founder Ted Turner did it to make money and fill a market share hole in the new cable news business.

Ruppert Murdoch soon after realized that the same Market share hole existed in conservative cable news and got into it FOR THE MONEY!!!

The only enemy of the people are people like you and Trump who say such absurd shit without any inkling of reality.

Then why do they behave as though they are?

Manipulating and often just outright lying for their benefit or the benefit of their pet projects/causes/associates??? Hmmm????

Wake up and smell the culture war, it's been going on for quite some time.

Ah, yes, the legend of Rory continues to live on in the thoughts and fears of the Deplorable Nation.

He was their lord, and they await his return with a mix of anguish and fear.

dudly, so are Mao & Stalin. Yet they made the "list".

Meanwhile other great icons of the past who did the same thing aren't on the "list".

Any idea why that is?

The last time I ran into someone who "insults" like you, I was in preschool.

It's OK that you miss Rory, the father figure of the Deplorables, the one that you could never measure up to.

That's the essence of your cult leader's problem, so it's natural that his cult followers suffer from the same affliction.

Thoughts and prayers to the Deplorable men. They have such a difficult time measuring up.
