A Portrait of 2013 if Republicans Win (or Steal it) — Daily Kos
It’s worse than you think. With the evolution of Occupy Wall Street, the threat that made George W. Bush reticent to go for full-blown dictatorship is now out of the bag: People are actively resisting and disrupting the money and power structure that underlies the Republican Party and, sadly, major portions of our own party — structures that now completely define the ideology, rhetoric, and policies of a huge proportion of our government without even a pretense of addressing the American people.
We are resisting this state of affairs with increasing sophistication, volume, and success, while government institutions are flailing to stop us without even pretending to address our grievances. But all of what we do is dependent on a few, fragile liberties and lines of communication that a sufficiently ruthless, shameless, and desperate regime could easily shatter.
So I ask you to imagine the following the scenario: Unlimited campaign cash flows into the 2012 election courtesy of Citizens United, and Wall Street allies with the national revenues (and possibly intelligence information) of China and Saudi Arabia to fund and otherwise support the Republican Party. The lukewarm or stingy corporate money flowing to centrist Democrats does not come anywhere close, even in concert with large numbers of small donations going to progressive Democrats.
The businesses that own the media openly collude to suffocate any attempt to introduce progressive issues into the debate, slander Democrats shamelessly, and promote outright lies bandied about by Republican candidates. Big Lies on a level not seen since the lead-up to the Iraq War are promoted in lockstep, and Democrats are practically made to prove their membership in the human species while Republicans could club baby seals on national TV and be effusively praised for their patriotic heroism. Most of the Democrats do not have Barack Obama’s remarkable ability to overcome such propaganda, and drown in it.
