Trump is rehearsing the same delegitimization script that led to January 6, but he’s not targeting this race specifically. The target is public trust in elections.

A while back I wrote an article called "Delegitimization, Deconstruction and Control: Undermining the Administrative State." It was about public services, but the argument - that the far right will not tolerate institutions they cannot control - applies just as well to universities.

When an executive agency mocks and insults the public, it crosses a bright line. Professional, nonpartisan enforcement is a cornerstone of democracy, and its erosion and the delegitimization of dissent are core markers of autocracy.

This is what everyone should do. Non-cooperation and delegitimization of the regimes is almost equally important on highest diplomatic levels as well as in academia and even grocery stores for that matter.
British professor Donald Rayfield has refused to accept an award from GD, stating that he would not accept recognition from an illegitimate government.
The ceremony was set to take place in the UK, where Rayfield was to be honored for his contributions to the Georgian literature, and history.

Orwellian is a label too often merited yet still too loosely used — but describing the election-delegitimization industry as “election integrity” work is pure newspeak.

Ironically, the group most stagnant since 1980 remain Black Americans. And since the narrative is that government is “devoted to helping Black people,” the undermining and delegitimization of all government policy is incredibly easy to achieve. This goes from union busting to consumer protection

The parallel focus on disingenuous or even overzealous and somewhat ridiculous white supporters as the vehicle for delegitimization is also interesting.

And historically, that process looks like this:
1️⃣ Delegitimization of experts
2️⃣ Promotion of pseudoscience
3️⃣ Reframing of the truth as loyalty
4️⃣ Overall public regression into stupidity

I just saw that I somehow wrote delegitimizate earlier instead of delegitimize.
I see what happened there. Autofill wrote delegitimization & I deleted some of it in a hurry.
Anyway I’m in hell about it.
I’m actually falling apart over it.

“A benchmark of any authoritarian movement is the delegitimization of political opposition. Insisting that patriots gathering to express concern about their nation’s future are attending a ‘hate-America rally’ checks all the wrong boxes.”
The more Republican rhetoric about No Kings events turns hysterical, the easier it is to believe that the party is increasingly worried about the growing public backlash to the GOP agenda. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
