During the
Trump reign, I often made reference to the dystopian world of 1984, but I was
in error.
1984 was a world where the government indoctrinated its citizens and governed through fear. A world where Dear Leader is watching you and your every action. This is North Korea and not the cult created by Donald Trump.
Trump is a
con man on the national stage. We have
seen this before and there is a name for it: Fascism.
P.T. Barnum said you don’t have to be smart to
con people, you just have to be smarter than the people you are conning.
A minority
of gullible people have been aroused to anger by a charismatic leader preaching
bigotry, white supremacy, and the demonization of people or ideas or religions
‘not like us.’
Hitler roused an angry vocal minority and the majority just fell in line.
This is what has happened to the Republican Party; they have been usurped by an egocentric paranoid fascist leader who now controls power over a loyal minority of Republican voters, and the majority of the Republican Party has fallen in line.
If we let this angry minority control us or even modify our norms, we have fallen in line, and our country will no longer be a democracy governed by laws.
Even though the Republicans have jerrymandered the states to favor Republicans in the Electoral College, we must Vote Republicans out of office in the 2024 election.
Yes, an evil fascist cult is the only explanation why gullible MAGAs don't see the truth.
ReplyDeletePT Barnum was absolutely Right. The 45 devotees are a Cult and behave like one. That Political Party has been hijacked and is Dead. If there are any actual true Conservatives left, they really need to establish a replacement Party. 45 never was a Republican, he was once interviewed years ago and said if he ever ran for Political Office he's run as a Republican tho', becoz they are so Stupid. Pretty much sums up what Barnum said, he knows he only has to be Smarter than those he's conning.
