What to expect under an authoritarian regime:

1. Democratic election through fear mongering.

2. They will divide + rule.

3. They will subjugate media outlets to create a propaganda machine.

4. They will create a sense of chaos + fear.

5. They will distort truth and lie to create confusion.

6. They will slander their "enemies"

7. They will create distractions to fight while they pass more insidious legislation to dismantle democracy.

8. They will further marginalize groups.

9. They will attempt to dismantle the courts, the checks + balances.

10. They will limit our ability to protest + assemble.

11. They will distort language and steal words.

12. They will take over national symbols.

13. They will rewrite history.

14. They will alienate foreign powers.

15. They will manipulate our electoral system to fit their agenda.

be strong, fight, endure, and remember you’re on the good side of history.

EVERY authoritarian, totalitarian and fascist regime in history eventually failed, thanks to the PEOPLE.
