Tucker Carlson Accidentally Reveals White National Master Plan
Karen Stenner, a behavioral economist who began researching personality traits two decades ago, has argued that about a third of the population in any country has what she calls an authoritarian predisposition, a word that is more useful than personality, because it is less rigid. An authoritarian predisposition, one that favors homogeneity and order, can be present without necessarily manifesting itself; its opposite, a “libertarian” predisposition, one that favors diversity and difference, can be silently present too. Stenner’s definition of authoritarianism isn’t political, and it isn’t the same thing as conservatism. Authoritarianism appeals, simply, to people who cannot tolerate complexity: there is nothing intrinsically “left-wing” or “right-wing” about this instinct at all. It is anti-pluralist. It is suspicious of people with different ideas. It is allergic to fierce debates. Whether those who have it ultimately derive their politics from Marxism or nationalism is irrelevant. It is a frame of mind, not a set of ideas.
Here is where Tucker Carlson becomes useful to the GOP:
But theorists often leave out another crucial element in the decline of democracy and the construction of autocracy. The mere existence of people who admire demagogues or feel more comfortable in dictatorships does not fully explain why demagogues win. The dictator wants to rule, but how does he reach that part of the public that feels the same? The illiberal politician wants to undermine courts in order to give himself more power, but how does he persuade voters to accept those changes? In ancient Rome, Caesar had sculptors make multiple versions of his image. No contemporary authoritarian can succeed without the modern equivalent: the writers, intellectuals, pamphleteers, bloggers, spin doctors, producers of television programs, and creators of memes who can sell his image to the public. Authoritarians need the people who will promote the riot or launch the coup. But they also need the people who can use sophisticated legal language, people who can argue that breaking the constitution or twisting the law is the right thing to do. They need people who will give voice to grievances, manipulate discontent, channel anger and fear, and imagine a different future. They need members of the intellectual and educated elite, in other words, who will help them launch a war on the rest of the intellectual and educated elite.
In his 1927 book La trahison des clercs—loosely translated as “The Treason of the Intellectuals”—the French essayist Julien Benda observed and described the authoritarian elites of his time long before anyone else understood how important they were. Anticipating Arendt, his concern was not “authoritarian personalities” as such, but rather the particular people who supported the authoritarianism that he already saw taking both left- and right-wing forms all across Europe. He described both far-right and far-left ideologues who sought to promote either “class passion,” in the form of Soviet Marxism, or “national passion,” in the form of fascism, and accused them both of betraying the central task of the intellectual, the search for truth, in favor of particular political causes. Ten years before Stalin’s Great Terror and six years before Hitler came to power, Benda already feared that the writers, journalists, and essayists who had morphed into political entrepreneurs and propagandists would goad whole civilizations into acts of violence. And so it came to pass.

On January 5, Steve Bannon – the architect of Trump’s political movement – told his podcast audience, “All hell will break loose tomorrow.”
Bannon continued: “So many people said, ‘Man, if I was in a revolution I would be in Washington.’ Well, this is your time in history.”[1]
The next day, pro-Trump, far-right extremists attacked the U.S. Capitol building and tried to stop, on behalf of Donald Trump, the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
Bannon seemed to know that something was going to happen. The question, now, is how much he knew – and how deeply he was involved in both the incitement and execution of that attack.
What Bannon said on his podcast was just the tip of the iceberg. Brand new reporting by Right Wing Watch’s Adele M. Stan published in The New Republic details how Bannon’s activities in the weeks leading up to January 6 dovetailed with those of the organizers of the insurrection, and how Bannon’s rhetoric and actions indicate that he could have played a key role in instigating the attack.
Among those playing organizing roles were Bannon associates Jack Posobiec, Raheem Kassam and Ali Alexander, a key “Stop the Steal” organizer, and Bannon solicited donations to the bail fund for Enrique Tarrio, leader of the Proud Boys who was arrested upon his arrival in D.C. for weapons possession and burning a Black Lives Matter flag. Additionally, Trump’s rhetoric during the January 6 rally on the Ellipse, which jump-started the attack on the Capitol, directly parroted the false claims Bannon had been peddling for weeks on his podcast.
It’s clear that Steve Bannon played a role in the events leading up to the insurrection and we deserve to know the full truth about who was involved.

Let's give Bannon the traitor treatment for inciting terrorism and insurrection.
I say hang the little bitch.

You first.
I've been asking you what your definition of fascism is for years now. Because you've never once used the word correctly.

Oh So Now Doing Insurrection Makes You An "Insurrectionist"
When I petition my government, I usually do so by writing my Congressperson or Senator, occasionally in concert with other like-minded constituents. It never occurs to me to go to their place of work, with weapons, and beat my way to their office, inflicting blunt-force trauma on anyone who stands in my way. Nor do I ever think to bring a noose and gallows with me.
Then again, I don't appear in public with a pistol strapped to my thigh either, so maybe I'm just doing this democracy thing all wrong to begin with.
Maybe I should go easy on her. She's a high school dropout who literally just got her GED last May, no lie.
