The USA is not post WWI Germany or Turkey under Erdogan or Italy under Mussolini or even Communist Russia.
Trump is not smart enough to have masterminded this. He is however capitalizing on the people’s behavior. He is pushing fear, gaslighting. Everything bad in the country is because of a liberal, a Democrat or an immigrant. Republicans are the only ones that can fix it.

He loves the cheers and the attention, so he pushes forth with his base. It’s truly heartbreaking to see people follow him and praise him.

I’ll make a bet with you. If by the end of Trumps second term, 50 million people around the world are raped, tortured, enslaved and genocided by a Trump-led storm trooper army, I’ll admit that I’m an ignorant and dangerous moron and I’ll not only leave this board but I’ll leave America and never come back.

If this doesn’t happen you do the same.

Deal?

As if the Democrat Party hasn't pushed fear and gaslighted. As if they haven't demonized the right and now just come out and blamed wypipo for the nation's ills. Glass houses and all that.

The orange grifter-in-thief does nothing but praise and make excuses for the worst excrement and dictators of the world. Shouldn't that ****ing tell us something...Jeez! The nation has opened the door with this loser of the majority vote and allowed fascism in and now we have to kick it the hell out at the midterms.

You might want to get some professional mental health help with that TDS before it turns into full-blown schizophrenia and you wind up living on the streets talking to yourself and scaring the public.

Please watch the video, it's made by an actual German who knows how nazi germany was run.
I did. And Nazi socialism went way beyond nationalization.

Now watch mine, from a PhD in history from Columbia:

Trump's even closer to Mao than the Democrats are.

The U.S. descended into fascism LONG before Orange Obama took office.
