Trump intensifies calls for banning political dissent and criticism


Donald Trump is escalating his rhetoric against his political rivals and critics, labeling them as criminals and suggesting that speech he disagrees with should be considered illegal. He has accused Vice President Kamala Harris of being a criminal and has called out various instances of what he deems to be illegal speech, such as edits to a “60 Minutes” interview and Google ads. Trump’s rhetoric about criminalizing dissent and seeking revenge against those who challenge him is alarming to experts who study authoritarianism, as it mirrors tactics used by dictators like Hitler and could have serious implications if he is elected president again.

Despite some mixed views among his supporters, with some disapproving of his revenge-based themes but still planning to support him due to their concerns about the economy and immigration, Trump continues to push the idea of illegal actions against those who oppose him. While some of his claims of illegality may have some plausibility, others are seen as baseless attacks on his critics. Experts warn that if Trump is able to consolidate power and impose party loyalty, he could potentially centralize power for himself and target dissenting voices.

Overall, Trump’s increasing use of authoritarian rhetoric and his calls to criminalize dissent are seen as concerning and a potential threat to the country’s democratic principles. It is important for those who are troubled by his actions to voice their concerns through voting and support for his political opponents.
