Authoritarian leaders always call critical media enemies of the people and dissidents "terrorists."

The world according to Trump and his supporters:

Objective, critical media = Fake News and Enemies of the People.

The far-right demagogues on FOX “News”, Sinclair, One America, talk radio = real journalism.

Antifa and Black Lives Matter = terrorists and criminal thugs.

Proud Boys and Neo-Nazis = patriots and Very Fine People.

Mark my words, it’s gonna get worse before it gets better. We have to do our best to plow through and survive.

If this country goes fascists, I am not running.

There will be no place to run. We either fight it here, or live under their heel no matter where you run.
