NBC's Lamestream Take on the Sabotage of Government

IN case anyone needs a reminder (not that we'll EVER forget) of how LAME-stream media outlets such as NBC played THEIR role in normalizing the outrageous and unacceptable, look no further than this recent write up by NBC News authors, Peter Nicholas, Henry J. Gomez, Courtney Kube, and yes, Kristen Welker.

The article, imo, a rather pasty disassociated write up of the means by which our democracy will be dismantled. But at least, to their credit, they didn't shout it out with glee.

anarchism as a political philosophy. The former being a desire to destroy the existing government, though in this case, with the desire to replace it with a more authoritarian, fascist government,

an irony and a despicable deceit unto ITSELF, seeing as how Trump & his MAGAS try to paint government, the balance of powers, and the rule of law as corrupt institutions

(a notion seemingly, almost bought into by the authors of the linked article... but again, credit to them for not applauding too loudly),

for the purposes of enabling THEM to replace it with something MORE corrupt, more restrictive, more dysfunctional, and MORE benevolent to the complete and abject will of their master and his accomplices.
