This ..
The autocratic leader lies and then falsely charges his opponents with lying. He politicizes institutions that are supposed to be free of politics by falsely accusing his foes of politicizing them. He victimizes others by falsely claiming they are victimizing him.
The autocrat also counts on spineless politicians to cave in to his demands. And as they destroy governmental institutions at his bidding, they insist they are defending them.

“Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow.”.. is what made Rush Limbaugh rich and allowed Fox News to replace news with focused propaganda.
We need people like Dionne and the D establishment to stop the whining about Russia and focus on what really delivered Trump, crazy authoritarian R's and Right-wing propaganda, especially that propaganda that masquerades as news.
