This was tried during the Civil war and the SCOTUS pushed back.
I wouldn't be surprised if something like this happened as we are in unprecedented times and controlling the spread is our utmost priority. However, this is a major red flag as we've already seen this administration wish to suppress the freedom of the press and spread misinformation and lies.
Deny progress when you're the minority. (I.E. Obamas presidency)
Run on a nationalist platform based around choosing one side or the other
Stack courts in your favor as to do illegal things legally
Lie about illegal things
Blame an entire race for the country's problems
Voter suppression
Wait for a national crisis (we are here)
Suspend rights in the name of nationalism to solve said crisis
Jail political opponents
Dictatorship
This was Hitlers playbook.
Now, it is farfetched to say we are going towards fascism but it really doesn't take much when you have a cult of supporters who follow you around wearing your memorabilia, chanting your slogans; and claiming you can do no wrong.
