Fascist Dictator Checklist

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” — Santayana

1. Systematic efforts to intimidate the media.  Barry, through the rabid leftist media, shouts down all opposing thought in TV, Movies and Books since 2008. During the 2016 they even stop trying to be neutral

2. Building an official pro-Trump media network. (cough 'fox' cough) From Dan Rather to Google... media sucks the leftist tit and does everything it can to promote a Hillary win.

3. Politicizing the civil service, military, National Guard, or the domestic security agencies. Barry's social engineering of the military will take decades to fix.

4. Using government surveillance against domestic political opponents.  Barry, Hillary and the DNC

5. Using state power to reward corporate backers and punish opponents. The IRS, FBI, CIA. and State department and Department of Justice is one big happy leftist circle-jerk.

6. Stacking the Supreme Court. LOL! You ****ers have been trying to do that since Clinton #1. Hell, the leftists you have on the court now don't even hide the fact that they bend left.

7. Enforcing the law for only one side. really?

8. Really rigging the system. Hillary- cough cough cough...

9. Fearmongering. That's all the left has to play! tax Armageddon, anyone?

10. Demonizing the opposition. Oh, for ****'s face...

* There you have it folks...we are living in a Fascist dictatorship

1. The fact that you're publicly posting this says we aren't

1. Systematic efforts to intimidate the media. So, you opposed Obama's failed war against Fox News and Clinton's use of the IRS to attack World Net Daily"

2. Building an official pro-regime media network. Like the Clinton News Network? Like Obama's sycophantic MesSNBC?

3. Politicizing the civil service, military, National Guard, or the domestic security agencies. Like Clinton's politicizing the FBI and use of the IRS to harass and shut down political opponents?

4. Using government surveillance against domestic political opponents. Like Obama's use of FISA courts to surveil Trump campaign and transition people? Like Obama obtaining AP reporters' phone records? Like Obama obtaining the phone records of several Fox News reporters (and one's parents!)? For starters.

5. Using state power to reward corporate backers and punish opponents. Reward? Like Obama and Solyndra? Punish? Like Obama siccing the IRS on TEA Party groups?

6. Stacking the Supreme Court. Every President chooses people with views similar to theirs, but remember FDR threatened to increase the number of Supreme Court justices so he could stack the USSC?

7. Enforcing the law for only one side. Like Comey deciding not to prosecute HilLIARy for her mishandling information of the very highest order of classification when people who mishandled lower order classified materials are currently in prison for that crime? Like shutting down the open-and-shut case against the New Black Panther Party?

8. Really rigging the system. Like rigging the D Party primaries and delegates system so HilLIARy could not lose? Like HilLIARy using the DNC as her money laundry?

9. Fearmongering. Like claiming Reagan would start a nuclear war with the USSR? Like the past 3 or 4 decades of claims that the Rs would kill off old people, starve children, and kill puppies?

10. Demonizing the opposition. Like the Republican "War on women"? Like false claims Romney and Trump had not paid Federal income taxes in 10 or more years? Like falsely claiming that Trump had inspired bomb threats against Jewish community centers?

That was like shooting fish in a barrel.

The lampreys and suckers?

A lot of projection there, but I see they omitted the one true hallmark -  promising a Socialist Utopia where the Mother Government would take care of everyone's needs.
