      I would say he wants it to be more like Fascist Italy under Mussolini .

      >“Remember all your lies about the voting machines, the election workers, your countless allegations of fraud that never happened?” she wrote. “Many of your lawyers have been sanctioned, disciplined or disbarred, the courts ruled against you, and dozens of your own White House, administration, and campaign aides testified against you.”

      She’s right. He serves the return of the Soviet Union with Putin though.

      “We got to get rid of the weak congresspeople, the ones that aren’t any good, the Liz Cheneys of the world, we got to get rid of them. We got to get rid of them. She never wants a soldier brought home. I’ve brought a lot of our soldiers home. I don’t know, some like it. They’re in countries that nobody even knows the name. Nobody knows where they are.” – [Trump ‘Save America Rally’ speech transcript from 6 January:](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/trump-speech-6-january-transcript-impeachment-b1786924.html)

      Liz should be thinking about leaving the country before noon on the 20th, because Trump would love to make her an example of the “wrong people”. She’s probably going to stupidly brave instead and be there in DC instead.

      Trump does not believe in democracy, he wants more power like Putin has and to be above the law. Action speaks louder than words.

      The Soviet Union elites have always believed the lives of the majority of their people had little value. The US has always believed this about black, only now they have extended this belief to the majority of the whites.

      She gives a tiny ray of hope that someday we can be a nation united again.

      People need to wake up to the fact that we almost certainly will soon live in a world where he, our president, will tell us what kind of country we are living in, so kindly shut up and do, and believe, exactly what he says (as he might put it). America historically hates being told what to do and how to do it, but this is not the same country as even a decade ago. MAGA leadership have pitted their voters against everyone else so that they are giving up their own freedoms to hurt the other side. Donald Trump was not elected as a president as much as a weapon or solution to hurt the opponents his voters were taught to hate.

      FDR’s answer to the greatest economic crises in America’s history was the New Deal.

      The modern Democratic party’s answer is…Liz Cheney.

      God, this is pathetic.

      Well let’s see…

      In Russia Oligarchs have unchecked power and governmental influence… ✅

      People who speak out against the powers that be die under mysterious circumstances… ✅ (ie. whistleblowers)

      Frequently attack the LGBTQIA+ Community… ✅

      Have different sets of laws for different people… ✅

      Jail political opponents… Well that one is surely coming so 4 out of 5 ain’t bad.

      So please enlighten us Liz, how are we not Russia again?

    17. ooouroboros on

      Of course its not the Soviet Union, they were commies.

      Fortunately for the American right, russians are now fascists so its totally fine to embrace and emulate them.

      (and just how dumb is Liz Cheney to even make this mistake?)

      [Is Trump following in this autocrat’s footsteps?](https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/trump-dictators-hungary-viktor-orban-rcna181879)

      Viktor Orbán’s power grab in Hungary offers a cautionary tale for Americans.

      “Trump’s goal this time is to remake the American government to enhance his power,” Scheiring warns in a new piece for Politico Magazine. “He isn’t the first modern right-wing populist to attempt this — he is following a playbook pioneered by Viktor Orbán.”

      When Orbán came to power in 2010, some of his first acts took aim at the independence of Hungary’s judiciary and news media. Orbán rewrote the country’s constitution to force senior judges to retire and set up a new court system overseen directly by his government. He consolidated control over the media. According to experts, 90% of all media in Hungary is now directly or indirectly controlled by Fidesz, Orbán’s party.

      Orbán and his allies have also tightened their grip over Hungary’s electoral system. They’ve changed laws to rig the system in his favor and keep him in power in perpetuity

      Friendly reminder that Liz Cheney’s voting record is over 90% aligned with Trump.

    27. Ok-Estate8230 on

      Yeah your dad didn’t send a bunch of young Russians to die for your inheritance he sent Americans. Just shut your mouth and disappear into obscurity and definitely stay out of politics you spawn from cancer.

    31. ooouroboros on

      Why is she afraid to say “russia?”

      There has been no soviet union in roughly 40 years.

    33. bg02xl on

      What if folks stopped responding to Donald Trumps online trolling?

      It is basically all bullshit anyway.

      Responding to him is just giving him what he wants, which is attention.

    37. Dineology on

      Leave it to the conservatives to twist things into a red scare instead of admitting that Trump is the logical result of GOP actions and policy over the last few decades.

    38. No_Biscotti_7110 on

      Liz Cheney shouldn’t be afraid of communism, she should be afraid of fascism, the same fascism her dad and her have helped slowly foster since the early 2000s

      >…to protect the America we love from you.

      I’ve never been a big Liz Cheney fan but there’s no doubting her love for our country.

    45. SlartibartfastMcGee on

      Is the left ever going to cotton on to the fact that hitching their wagon to the Cheneys is a stupid fucking idea?

    46. Nonzero-outcome on

      Why not? Lots of people lived comfortably under the Soviet Union. Just ask them! Ask them they’ll say “oh mr trump we loved it, we made so much money we had many people, good people working hard for their families, everyone got fed because everyone shared!” See we can make it work, its the libs, they want the money for themselves, but your see we’ll open up those factories and get people working again!
