For anyone who still thinks democracy isn’t necessary for a good life-ask yourself where the music you listen to is made, where the movies you want to watch, the TV shows, etc. How many of them are from Dictatorships? Democracies allow art to get some breathing room.

I gave this TED talk warning Silicon Valley of the profound threat of it posed to democracy nearly 6 years ago. It provoked a lawsuit that caused me years of pain. The UK government did nothing to contain the threat. And here we are.

Pretty amazing that the House (likely 220R-215D) would have flipped to Dems this year while the White House/Senate flipped to the GOP, had it not been for Rs winning a majority on the NC Supreme Court in 2022, allowing GOP legislators to redraw three Dem seats into oblivion.

I've been seeing a lot of people on the left and right talking about the 2024 election as if it was a landslide.
So I made this chart to put things in context.
Trump's win was one of the smallest in modern history.

Republicans want to eliminate government agencies, not because they aren't needed but because they want to privatize their functions. That way they and their cronies can create businesses to do the identical functions for astronomical prices and profits that go to them.

The tactics used by infamous cult leaders may seem far removed from today’s political stage, but the parallels are striking.
Trump’s leadership style taps into the same playbook—using fear, certainty and BITE Model control techniques to demand loyalty .
Understanding these patterns isn’t just about reflection; it’s about protecting ourselves and our communities from active, ongoing manipulation. By recognizing these tactics, we empower ourselves to stay informed and foster critical thinking.
What’s one strategy you’ve noticed that seems eerily familiar? Let’s discuss in the comments. 💬
