Many people seem to think that fascism is a switch that gets flipped, but it's really a machine that the government needs to keep feeding quarters into. Your job is to exhaust the state until they quit.

Elections so far have been competitive, and the hybrid regime has lost most of them. But without a free press, for example - instead media companies are threatened with state action.
That's Orban-style competitive authoritarianism, not free and fair elections
The Trumps are trying for medieval-style personalist / dynastic politics, but there's no tsarina of Russia for Melania to write to

17.08.2025 00:39 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0A federal court in Washington, D.C. issued a preliminary injunction today blocking the Federal Trade Commissionโs investigation into Media Matters for America from moving forward while the court considers the lawsuit Media Matters filed on June 23. In response, Angelo Carusone, Chairman and President of Media Matters, issued the following statement:โThe courtโs ruling demonstrates the importance of fighting over folding, which far too many are doing when confronted with intimidation from the Trump administration. This case is not just about the campaign to punish and silence Media Matters, however. It is a critical test for whether the courts will allow any administration - from any political party - to bully media and non-profit organizations through illegal abuses of power. We will continue to stand up and fight for the First Amendment rights that protect every American.โ
Key excerpts from the courtโs opinion: โSpeech on matters of public concern is the heartland of the First Amendment. The principle that public issues should be debated freely has long been woven into the very fabric of who we are as a Nation. Without it, our democracy stands on shaky ground. It should alarm all Americans when the Government retaliates against individuals or organizations for engaging in constitutionally protected public debate. And that alarm should ring even louder when the Government retaliates against those engaged in newsgathering and reporting.โ โMedia Matters engaged in quintessential First Amendment activity when it published an online article criticizing Mr. Musk and X.โ
In a victory for free speech, Media Matters won a preliminary injunction against the retaliatory FTC investigation.
