Get the ⹋ mug.Borism - The transformation of elective parliamentary democracy to ruthless dictatorship in 5 stages:
1. The community taking over all the arms of government is always numerically tiny.
2. The creation of a nationwide campaign of fear or terror.
3. When people are badly frightened, they are extremely gullible. They will believe whatever they are told. Figures are cooked, statistics cobbled, research stultified, to endorse the death-is-everywhere message.
4. The assurance from the tiny group that they and only they can save us from a horrible fate, but only if we all abide by and obey a tidal wave of rules and regulations - no matter if these destroy the nation we once knew and loved. Fear, deliberately inspired fear, rules supreme.
There will always be dissenters, who must be dealt with.
5. Creation of a sort of secret police to spy, pounce and punish.
