PUTIN AND TRUMP THREAD

I’ve stated before that my research is Vladimir Putin. So I’m going to share what I know because of what is happening in Portland. This will be an ongoing thread that I’ll add to.

The first thing we have to do is have NO FEAR.

What is happening in America is a complete copy of Russia. Either Putin is feeding through what needs to be done or Trump is being fed information on how to copy the Putin Regime. It started out in Russia with Putin running on “Law and Order.” What he did was create a

“Culture of Terror,” to control the people. It was all for show at first. But it worked. He had to create a police state. This was to create an absolutist rule that put his rule above anything and needed a well ordered police state to do it. What Putin wanted was a

“dictatorship of law.” A well ordered police state with state control over society. “I am the state” and “the state is me.” He would be a “good, but severe father.” Punishing those he deemed necessary. He was also the derzhavnik, the extreme statist. But I want to go to what

I mean by his “culture of terror” or “collective fear.” It starts with extreme acts through political intimidation and violence. In the name of LAW AND ORDER. it is meant to keep the opposition weak and to confuse the masses into feeling too intimidated to act. It can create a

“space of death,” and erstablishes the “collective fear.” They’ll create rumors, whispered threats and conspiracies. The culture of terror is a state of being and a means to an end. It is used in authoritarian regimes. Putin did this to Russia. But this type of behavior is not

new to the Russian people. They have lived under terror and tyranny many times before and they take it very seriously. This isn’t the norm in democracies. It can start with a murder which puts thoughts into the people’s head as to what this person can do. It’s not a proveable

murder of course. Such as Boris Nemstov. It’s the Stalinist playbook. Putins followers will blame everyone but him. But why do they act this way? Weakness. A fear of losing. Winners and people of strength with majority support do not act this way. Only losers do. Those that

cannot win fairly. When all else fails. Turn to terror. Putin feared protests against him such as in Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine. By creating a domestic culture of terror, he also said to the world “we don’t care what you think.”
What Trump is doing is two things.

He’s created a narrative to show he’s serious about Law and Order for his followers. These images will be used in his campaign from now until November. What he’s also doing is trying to create a culture of terror and fear. This is when we MUST RESIST. We know what he’s doing

and we know he’s doing it in a democratic country where we have rights and the rule of law. He lives in an alternative universe where he thinks the constitution and the rule of law do not matter. THEY DO. And he’ll be made aware of this in 2021. He has gone to far with these

goons on the street. They are unlawful and illegal. And he and his enablers will be held accountable. But we must know what he’s trying to do and resist every single day. Do not allow a “culture of terror” and “collective fear” take hold on America soil. RESIST.

Please manifest within yourselves the late @repjohnlewis. We stand tall. We do not accept injustice and terror. We continue every single day with #goodtrouble.

These are Putin tactics and we do not fear those tactics in the United States of America.
