Dictator (noun) – a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who has obtained control by force.
Last week, during a town hall meeting in Davenport, Iowa, Fox News commentator Sean Hannity asked former President Donald Trump if he planned to be a dictator. The question came as a result of the new talking point and false narrative of the progressive socialist leftist media. This is a point that has been championed by Liz Cheney, who is, as Vladimir Lenin coined the term, the left’s favorite “useful idiot.” Ms. Cheney is, of course, currently making the rounds on leftist media outlets promoting her book, “Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning.” Former President Trump’s response to Hannity’s question sent the left into a more profound apoplectic meltdown of deranged lunacy. Instead of just saying I am not a dictator, Trump went on to say he would be a dictator on his first day after being sworn in as 47th President to secure the border and return to energy resource drilling.
Now, let me take a moment to enlighten our delusional leftist comrades and Ms. Cheney. Abiding by the US Constitution and securing our national sovereignty is not dictatorial. Returning America to energy independence and perhaps dominance is not dictatorial. Well, it is to the leftists who prefer to undermine our sovereignty and sell off our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) – now down to a mere 17 days — to China. This is where Donald Trump could have silenced his Marxist detractors on this issue.
One thing we should recognize is that whatever the leftists are accusing someone else of doing, it is because they are doing it. The real white supremacists have always been on the left. And the real dictators have always been leftists.
It is quite dictatorial to tell an entire nation what type of vehicle they can drive, especially when the American automobile industry has been telling the Biden administration that no one wants these electric vehicles. No one except China is the primary beneficiary in their role as the real violator of climate change.
Dictators mandate how you can transport yourself, regulating your freedom of movement. Dictators are the ones who recommend mileage taxes and monitor your vehicle to report your travels. Dictators are the ones who tell you what type of stove, dishwasher, and other appliances you can have in your home. Dictators tell you how you must build your own home and even attempt to regulate the heating and cooling of your home.
Dictators tell you that your children are not your own, that they belong to them. Dictators pass laws that allow them to mutilate the bodies of your children without your consent or knowledge. As well, dictators tell you that they will take your children away from you if you do not affirm the diabolical ideological agendas they use to indoctrinate your children. Dictators, such as Democrat Governors Roy Cooper and Katie Hobbs, feel threatened by the passing of educational freedom legislation and seek to reverse those measures.
Dictators refer to parents who want better educational opportunities for their children as “domestic terrorists.” Dictators illegally surveil, intimidate, and arrest their political opposition, especially those standing in the way of murdering unborn babies in the womb by dismemberment, which is the philosophy of a white supremacist revered by dictators, Margaret Sanger.
Dictators use government agencies to undermine and erode your rights to keep and bear arms because dictators want unarmed subjects, not armed citizens. That is why Biden, the Dictator, used the BATF to implement an unconstitutional executive order that would have turned millions of Americans into felons overnight: the pistol brace ban. Out in New Mexico, their dictator, Governor Michele Lujan Grisham, thought she could suspend the Second Amendment because of high crime rates by criminals using firearms. What do you constantly hear from leftist dictators? Yes, “gun violence” is a healthcare crisis. Dictators like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson refuse to deal with rising crime and shootings, and his response to retail stores, including grocery stores, fleeing Chicago? Yep, we will just create government grocery stores . . . because dictators want to control your food consumption.
Perhaps that is why dictators are telling us we cannot eat meat. Instead, they want us to eat bugs. Well, you first, me never.
By their very nature, progressive socialists, Marxists, leftists, and communists are the real dictators. After all, who says “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs?” Yep, wealth redistribution is all about, taking from one group, the contributors, and distributing to another group, the consumers. It is the expansion of the welfare nanny state, the dependency society. Who embraces that sort of warped principle? Dictators.
Dictators tell law-abiding citizens that they must live in fear while they release violent criminals back onto their streets. These same dictators tell Americans that law enforcement officers should not protect them while they also seek to disarm them. In Illinois, their version of a dictator, Governor Pritzker, wants to hire illegal immigrants as law enforcement officers. Not to be outdone, another Illinois dictator, Senator Dick Durbin, wants to recruit illegal immigrants to serve in our military. Yeah, sure, let’s take all these single military-aged males who violated our Constitution and have them take an oath to support and defend the very rule of law they violated.
Dictators come up with cute-sounding themes like “equity,” believing they can make us all equal. Dictators dismiss the rule of law. They abide by only one premise and rule and create a dual-tiered system of justice that enables the implementation of their agenda. Dictators tell businesses they must shut down but throw a fit if anyone speaks of shutting down the apparatus of their dictatorial designs, the government.
Finally, dictators censor opposing thoughts, insights, ideals, and perspectives. They do not believe in free speech, only their version of accepted speech. This is evident in these incubators for dictators, our college and university campuses.
The modern-day American Democrat party is a collection of leftist dictators. This is how former President Trump should have responded to Sean Hannity’s question. Because as I learned from my parents and in the military, if you are explaining, you are losing. It is time we make the real dictators explain something they cannot do.
The bottom line is that Democrats are the real dictators. Dictators suck. If we desire to Live Free, then stop supporting dictators unless you want to suck as well!
This ends our class today on dictators. Dismissed.
Steadfast and Loyal.
Lethal says
Leftism is a form of insanity. Why else would anyone who has lived in a free society like Canada, the UK, the USA and Australia once were choose to destroy their country?
Mo de Profit says
Brilliant.
“from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs?”
Sounds noble, some have more needs than others, Obama has more need for a mansion by the beach and power than me. I have few needs and zero desire for power.
Perfect society?
Only problem with it, is that the individual doesn’t get to choose what he needs or what he can provide, that gets to be decided by the elites in the bureaucracy and sounds like most of today’s governments.
Lightbringer says
“From each according to his ability to each according to his needs” works in one and only one economy: A nuclear family with minor children. In this economy, parents work and children receive. That’s how it is, until the children are old enough to contribute to the family income. But parents choose to enter into this arrangement voluntarily by virtue of having become parents, and they are by and large happy with it. Nobody else ought to be pushed into it, especially if it involves producing to support consumption by lard-assed bureaucrats and other government weasels and thieves.
Mark Sochor says
Why you Texans didn’t make Allen West your governor is still a head scratcher. If you want more detail on Allen’s lesson about dictators and the Democrat Party. I just finished Mark Levin’s book “The Democrat Party hates America”. Trust me, it’s worse than you think. We need to “awaken” our somnambulist “wokesters” that may be redeemable to this growing threat from inside as well as outside of our once great Republic.
Matia says
Not all Democrats hate America. They seem to me to not be informed correctly. Although extreme leftist Democrats do appear to outnumber Centrist types, the reasonable Dems do occasionally swing their votes to Republican or Independent. There’s a real problem with shutting down people’s free speech, and letting the public know the whole truth about things. Freedom of speech should not be infringed.
Huapakechi says
Who counted the votes? Those bureaucrats in the state capitol with internet linked counting machines. The fix was in.
Jan VI says
I stopped reading after six paragraphs. Blah blah blah…West says nothing new.
The real question should be, why did Trump say something as stupid as “I would be a dictator”??? A would-be President needs to speak better than that!
I support DeSantis. He’s like Trump (or better), younger, and no drama included.
Jeff Bargholz says
You and nobody else.
DeSantis needs to stay down in Florida where he does good. America needs Trump. Even Nikki Haley is doing better than him and nobody really likes her.
jeremiah says
I don’t think DeSantis is anything like Trump. Trump isn’t just an erratic, naïve mind. Something is real wrong. He’s built up an unquestioning cult, but the emperor wears not a stitch. The best defense for Trump is that you can’t say why he does these inexplicably stupid things therefore we can’t hold him accountable. There’s no third rail when it’s the head of a cult..
Why are people falling all over themselves defending a guy who appoints and endorses every deep state person they can to positions of power who then leave him and us mostly powerless.? And he left us powerless on covid and courted Fraudchi proudly claiming that he did everything Fraud asked breaking the Nuremburg codes. Which meant forced masks and shots, ventilators of death and no effective medicines. and strutted with a puffed out chest about the beautiful shot. He backed the child mutilators and groomers and is therefore no friend of parental rights. Never sent the aliens home and he had the power and ability to do so.
Won’t take risks when he thinks he’s in danger. and backs away like when McNasty talked him down on J-6. No consequences for his worst enemies except those who he should form coalitions with and are on his side. All talk and no action on the issues most important to save this nation. Desantis has proven with his actions that he gets the important issues and fights effectively for them.
Paul Revere says
Having been involved in NY METRO construction for 40+ years and met The President a couple of times at various functions you really need to know the NY SARCASM OF PLAYING OFF SILLY QUESTIONS. Btw so should have Hannity known it as well! Griff
LuzMaria Rodriguez says
DeSantis would be good and good for the nation based on what he has done in Florida.
But right now we need a pissed-off, fire-snorting BULL in the china shop. Everything must be broken into little pieces. Ever see one of those up close? Get the hell out of the way or get stomped and horned.
There should be little doubt that the leftists and their lefty media will go after DeSantis with their lies and propaganda once they believe Trump is out of the picture. Lies are what they do.
john r butala says
We don’t a lunatic….that would be Donald Trump. No more lunatics and criminal behavior.
john r butala says
Yes, Trump should have said that he has no plans to be a dictator ever.
But instead he says he’ll only be one on day one if reelected.
Why does he say such dumb things? And the cult eagerly swallows the swill Trump ladles out. And, of course, this is the candidate who vows retribution against all his enemies if he gets back into office.
I really have to ask all the cultists on this forum the question they should be all be asked: is there anything, anything Trump would do that would cause you to disavow him?
I’m getting the feeling that no, there isn’t anything Trump could do that would stop the cult from worshipping him.
Anne-Marie Marion says
Very well written, Mr. West. So many in our society have no friggin’ idea what dictatorship is. They show their abject ignorance when they use the term to describe Trump or anybody they don’t agree with. Idiots.
Huapakechi says
Transference is what the shrinks call it.
LuzMaria Rodriguez says
Yes, Mr. West said it well, and you wrote it best.
We are dealing with arrogant and ignorant fools.
DC says
I always love to hear from Col. West, US Army(ret.).
But this last statement is not relevant to the Americans who were defrauded in the 2020 election………
“The bottom line is that Democrats are the real dictators. Dictators suck. If we desire to Live Free, then stop supporting dictators unless you want to suck as well!”
Colonel?………..you KNOW we did not “support” DEMS in 2020.
So now what?(I have a few ideas).
John Blackman says
once you have TDS there is no cure , vaccines are pointless for such a rabid virus .
john r butala says
Yes, TDS………someone says something true about Trump, and the cultists get deranged.
WhiteHunter says
I was going to post a Reply in vigorous agreement with this outstanding piece, Colonel; but by the time I finished reading it, you’d already “hit the X-Ring” on every point, so there’s no need for me to!
SPURWING PLOVER says
The first rule of all Dictators and Tyrants is to Disarm the People so no one can resist the takeover that’s why the Democ-Rats support Gun Control/Confiscation
