Cooly Calculated: Trump Constructs Authoritarian Realities
In the U.S., a dynamic long cultivated by Donald Trump is unfolding: The U.S. president is progressively turning his delusional politics into reality.
Donald Trump no longer just fabricates his alternative facts; he makes them reality. His belligerent rhetoric in the current clash with cities governed by Democrats is, as usual, riddled with exaggerations, i.e., distorted and inflated facts. However, by engaging in military power games at home, Trump is creating a climate of fear and insecurity for many segments of the population, even though crime and gun violence are undoubtedly more significant issues in many parts of the U.S. than in other Western countries.
But now a trend long cultivated by Trump is unfolding. A notable example was when he riled up his supporters with his lie about winning the 2020 presidential election against Joe Biden, prompting them to attempt to alter political realities by storming the Capitol shortly afterward.
Trump Constructs Authoritarian Realities: Causality Is Turned on Its Head
Back in office, this divisive language has even more far-reaching consequences, as it extends to institutions of power. Trump unceremoniously calls Chicago a “war zone,” all while deploying the military and dispatching masked agents to carry out manhunts.
Causality is turned on its head, and all logic is reduced to absurdity.
The coolly calculated manner in which Trump is progressively turning his delusional politics into reality — with increasing intensity — is, in fact, the major threat to the United States.
