"This isn't a question about media bias. What we are seeing is 5 things:
35% of this country has checked out to full obedience to their leader and this is straight out of "1984" with Winston at the end of the book when the party official is holding up four fingers and says, 'Winston, how many fingers are there?'
And Winston, with tears in his eyes, replies 'I see only four.'
And the party leader says, 'But it could be only three or it could be five, it's what the party tells you.'
And that's when democracy dies in America."'

- We're seeing someone go to mass rallies, constantly lie to incite fervor in a cult of personality base.
- We're seeing him make victimization honorable, they're ALL victims, right?
- We're seeing the allegation of conspiracy, the Deep State, hidden nefarious movements that only the leader can see.
- We see the scapegoating of mass minority populations, vulnerable populations
- Lastly, the assertion that "I need to exercise these powers that no president has ever claimed to have".
