    They are still paying lip service that it’s not a Nazi salute for now. The coup is on the verge of gaining full control of the military at which point they’ll drop the pretense.

    Mass protests will “justify” declaring martial law.

    The current attacks on Zelenskyy “being a dictator” because there hasn’t been an election during the war is intended to get the American left to loudly proclaim that not holding elections during periods of martial law is justified. So when the Trump regime declares martial law, elections will become a thing of the past.

      I wonder what rhetoric they’re gonna pivot to on China when the mask fully comes off. Surely they’re not going to mention authoritarianism ever again, only “They’re stealing our jobs. They’re cheating our tariffs. They’re threatening our military? They’re communist.”

      Or maybe they still pretend the US are bastions of “freedom” and “democracy”, when that has never been true.
