Summary

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is organizing grassroots events to oppose Trumpā€™s policies, arguing that ā€œTrumpism does not believe in democracy.ā€

In an op-ed, Sanders criticized Trumpā€™s ties to Elon Musk, federal budget cuts, and media influence, warning of authoritarianism.

He cited Trumpā€™s recent post likening himself to Napoleon and accused him of disregarding the rule of law.

The White House dismissed Sandersā€™ concerns, accusing Democrats of authoritarian tactics.

      As long as those that voted for Trump continue to lap up whatever he says it doesnā€™t matter whatā€™s true. Weā€™re now just in 1984 doublespeak, where for the media, profit is more important than the truth, because really capitalism has driven us off the cliff straight into fascism
