Chuck Darwin<p>When he was in office, Trump went out of his way to find ways to hurt Amazon to get back at Bezos for unfavorable coverage in the Post.&nbsp;</p><p>Los Angeles Times editorial page editor <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mariel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mariel</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Garza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Garza</span></a>, along with journalists Robert Greene and Karin Klein, resigned from the paper after its decision not to endorse Harris, <br>💥and nearly 2,000 readers canceled their subscriptions. </p><p>The Washington Post, too, has seen 💥about 2,000 subscribers bow out, <br>and fourteen of the newspaper’s columnists called the decision not to condemn Trump’s threats to the “freedom of the press and the values of the Constitution” “a terrible mistake.” </p><p>Cartoonist Ann Telnaes published a blacked-out square, playing on the Post’s motto that democracy dies in darkness.<br>Readers are speaking out against the Washington Post for demonstrating what scholar of authoritarianism <a href="https://c.im/tags/Timothy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Timothy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Snyder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Snyder</span></a> calls “obeying in advance” the demands of an authoritarian leader <br>(although Washington Post legal journalist Ruth Marcus, who signed the letter calling the decision a terrible mistake, pointed out that the Postitself was publishing the many letters of condemnation). </p><p>“Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given,” Snyder’s “On Tyranny” reads. <br>“In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. </p><p>A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”</p><p>The aftermath of the Post’s decision demonstrated what scholars say will happen after such obeying. <br>Rather than winning favors, such a demonstration of weakness invites further abuse, as anyone who has watched Trump in action ought to know by now.&nbsp;</p><p>Trump’s people pounced, with advisor <a href="https://c.im/tags/Stephen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Stephen</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Miller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Miller</span></a> posting: <br>“You know the Kamala campaign is sinking when even the Washington Post refuses to endorse.”</p><p>Trump then promptly went a step further, claiming that Democrats had taken part in “rampant Cheating and Skullduggery…in the 2020 presidential election” and warning that in 2024, “WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again…. Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, &amp; Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”</p><p>Trump’s threats are designed to convince people he is a strongman who will inevitably win the 2024 presidential election. </p><p>But to do that, he will have to go through the voters, who are demonstrating their enthusiasm for Democratic candidate Harris and her running mate, Minnesota governor Tim Walz.</p>
