The Dems need to pull out the word "authoritarian"

[MissMillie]

Now... Right now.

They need to say it over and over and over (and over and over and over and over.....)

All I heard on the news this morning was "socialist"

We're not what they say we are,'

They are what we say they are.

We need to say it.

1. Completely Agree....

I hope that it will start resonating along with Autocrat....

That is where we are headed quickly...

2. "Mafia state"would be more accurate and more effective .

We can all see the clear lines of corruption . Mafia states share characteristics with authoritarians, but there is no ideology here. It's all about the $$$$$.

Yeah, I know, "but the theocrats !" or "ICE ! " Their corrupt too.

3. Let's say it all

it's better than saying nothing.

We need to define ourselves.

5. Don't dilute the message.

ex.: "Just Say No... to the Mafia State" , simple,accurate, easy to remember. " The Mafia Party"...

If you're going to define them, go for the easiestly articulated truth.

This post is about defining them, is it not ?

4. I don't know how effective that will be.

Big words like "authoritarian" just don't resonate with many Americans. How about using the word "thug?"

6. Spot on.
