Autocracies are not efficient at all. There's corruption everywhere.
The larger the state, the more opportunities for corruption. Of course, dismantling the fat state will anger many - those who are fed by it. Unfortunately some "false positives" are part of the process. All the rest is poetry.
When the fascists conclude the take-over is complete, they will prop up someone with a more acceptable appearance, and the public will be relieved. The media will keep a narrow focus on just the drama of actualities. But still, a tyranny installed, democracy gone. And people will accept it as the new normal. Everyone will keep normalizing everything, the rituals of democracy as a smokescreen for the powerful.
Fake symbols. Fake titles. For the eyes that want to be blinded.Yes it has been a slippery slope. And now an avalanche, like planned.
The work is you. You should be fed with so many distractions, so many logical fallacies, such that in the end you will say
Trump's election is the most democratic thing to happen in decades.
"The work is you. You should be fed with so many distractions, so many logical fallacies, such that in the end you will say
> Trump's presidency is the beginning of a fascist coup to destroy Democracy"
At this point, this is not a struggle over reality-consensus, it is just a battle of who's propaganda is more convincing.
The goal is the latter though. The super wealthy and powerful head to an era where they decide what happens, they do not want the rules and the law apply to them.

Angry about a transgender you have never seen? Good, very good. They want your power.
It is you or them.
The outrage over transgenders are psychological tricks to split a populace. Let people make it their identity. Normalize bullying, normalize bullshit, normalize "might makes right".
They need it, because they are few and you are numerous. You must excuse them. You should be fighting your peer.
Or at least believe both sides are not clean, so you should excuse their power grab. That is the binary belief trap I spotted.
"Haha, see the tears of those hypocrites, lol".
"They are operating the kids!!"
"They eat the dogs, they eat the dogs!!"
As soon as society accepts the lies because the team they think that is their team is winning, you go from bad to irrecoverable worse.
Like Steve Bannon said, just yesterday, on CPAC (the conservative parties and associations):
"fight, fight, fight!"
Gerrymandering and voter suppression are not very democratic.
