Failed gubernatorial hopeful Stacey Abrams recently claimed President Trump is attempting to shift the United States from a democracy to an autocracy.
Abrams appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” where guest host Anthony Anderson asked her to explain the “10 steps to autocracy.”
Abrams said her 10 steps apply to “every nation that has become an autocracy having been a democracy,” specifically referencing Brazil India, Russia, and the Philippines.
“Start with winning an election,” Abrams said. “Usually the last one you’ll get to have for real.”
Abrams’ next steps included expanding executive power and weakening Congress and the judicial branch.
“Like, I don’t know, the Supreme Court is giving you unfettered power and saying we don’t have the ability to stop things,” Abrams said, presumably referencing the recent Supreme Court ruling limiting nationwide injunctions.
Abrams then conveniently avoided mentioning former President Joe Biden, who notably ignored the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down his student loan forgiveness plan.
Abrams then said autocracies then “gut the civil service” to “break democracy” and put loyalists in the FBI “so they go after your enemies.”
She again failed to mention that under the Biden administration, Trump was charged in four criminal cases that were widely viewed as political prosecutions.
Abrams said that Trump “[going] after DEI” was evidence that he was looking for someone to blame, which she said was another hallmark of autocracies.
She then suggested Trump’s mobilization of the National Guard and the U.S. Marines in Los Angeles was one step away from a full autocracy.
Watch:
“You send the U.S. Marines into spaces where they should not be, you send the National Guard in, you kidnap people off of the streets and pretend that’s normal,” Abrams said.
“Once you’ve done those nine steps, step 10 is easy,” Abrams said. “That’s when you decide there won’t be new elections because everyone’s either afraid, poor, broken, or complicit.”
Abrams has claimed dozens of times that the 2018 gubernatorial election was stolen from her. In 2019, she said, “I didn’t lose. I got the votes. But we won’t know exactly how many because of how they cheated.”
ANOTHER LIBATARD CRACKPOT ON DRUGS
10000000000000% correct
The Dem strategy has always been to accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of. Dems opened the border and distributed illegals across the country in blue cities so they can influence the 2030 census used to apportion congressional representatives and electoral votes to heavily blue states. This way they can lock down power for themselves for the long term! I’m sorry, who is destroying Democracy?
‘tank’ needs to be reminded that we ain’t a democracy. Never mind that an ‘autocracy’ under DJT would likely be far better than whatever system she would prefer – never mind we already know what that would be – total tyranny controlled by the likes of her. Nothing to see here, move along.
get the facts lady….you don’t know what you’re talking……get a grip…..
It helps if you know the truth….
