A decade ago, when Trump reentered the political scene, he wasted no time branding the media as the “enemy of the people”—a phrase with unmistakably Soviet overtones.
Steve Bannon laid the groundwork for much of what's happening. He gave trump the flood the zone strategy they are using. He branded the media as the enemy. He went around the world pulling right wing governments and parties together. He wanted to deconstruct the government. They are now doing all these things.
Ms. Lautman, thank you for another outstanding post - as frightening as it is. Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to rely on the courts to uphold the First Amendment and freedom of the press. Trump just said the quiet part outloud:
“He who saves the Country does not violate any Law.”
Trump and his traitorous legion believe they have a mandate to overthrow the Constitution. It will be up to the people to stop them.

You’re absolutely right - the term he uses is “muzzle velocity.” The term “muzzle” is a metaphor for not only for silencing the free press but references violent suppression, if needed. Per Kevin Roberts, head of the Heritage Foundation and architect of Project 2025: “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” (https://open.substack.com/pub/joycevance/p/bloodless-if-the-left-allows-it-to?r=flasu&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false)

If the media will abandon their sane washing of Trump and fascism, we will come back. It’s now or never time. Others are taking their place.

Keep it up, but remember to take naps!
Words fail; actions count!
I AM THE ENEMY OF POWER
Slandered and abused
Beaten, bruised, but still fighting
For you - I am Truth
Not welcomed by all
To those who would do you harm
I’m the enemy
Behold my allies
Diverse views, skepticism
Inconvenient facts
My foes tell their flocks
“Others will lie to you. I’ll
tell you what to think!”
They’re threatened by me
Their power comes from closed minds
Anger, fear and hate
They will convince you
You didn’t see what you saw
Or hear what you heard
They will vilify
Shout-down, demean and malign
Those who speak for me
Trust your eyes and ears
Trust your power to reason
Trust I am there, but …
May be obscure. There’s
not always a smoking gun.
Sometimes, only smoke
But connect the dots
The proof is in the picture
Yes, that’s me you see
I’ve nothing to hide
I can stand h your scrutiny
Because I am Truth
