Autocracy: Rules for Survival

Rule #3: Institutions will not save you. It took Putin a year to take over the Russian media and four years to dismantle its electoral system; the judiciary collapsed unnoticed. The capture of institutions in Turkey has been carried out even faster, by a man once celebrated as the democrat to lead Turkey into the EU. Poland has in less than a year undone half of a quarter century’s accomplishments in building a constitutional democracy.

Of course, the United States has much stronger institutions than Germany did in the 1930s, or Russia does today. Both Clinton and Obama in their speeches stressed the importance and strength of these institutions. The problem, however, is that many of these institutions are enshrined in political culture rather than in law, and all of them—including the ones enshrined in law—depend on the good faith of all actors to fulfill their purpose and uphold the Constitution.

The national press is likely to be among the first institutional victims of Trumpism. There is no law that requires the presidential administration to hold daily briefings, none that guarantees media access to the White House. Many journalists may soon face a dilemma long familiar to those of us who have worked under autocracies: fall in line or forfeit access. There is no good solution (even if there is a right answer), for journalism is difficult and sometimes impossible without access to information.

 

They need to report everything now. Speak the truth for/to the people while they still can.

 

he also said this

 

Megyn Kelly writes that Trump was tipped off about debate question

 

Remember when she grilled Donna about this and said "if a Republican...."

I find it cowardly to say this after the election.

 

i gotta imagine that all the candidates work their contacts to try to get the questions. glad we went in on Hillary though.

 

Yep. I spent a week saying that and then was like whatever.

And if you don't know most of the questions beforehand you're probably dumb. I could tell you the fucking questions.
