Ruthless, seized the moment, cartoony looks, bucks to burn, 75m rock-hard base, cowed Republican party, grabs the spotlight, has an armed militia* ready-to-shoot. Trump checks all the boxes.
Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini were all of the above in spades, Trump fits the mold. A joke when he ran in 2015, now we're dead-scared he might be coronated in 2024. His pal, Viktor Orban,**** Hungary's dictator-in-chief, is rootin' for him.A weak Dem opposition is ominous. Serious people have written serious books*** warning US about a Trump authoritarian presidency. “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce”, Karl Marx.
Ha, Ha.
Stay tuned.
* Oath Keepers**, Proud boys.
** Founder of OKs, Stewart Rhodes, and 11 members have been indicted for sedition against the US.
*** Tucker Carlson (Fox news' "most-watched cable-news commentator") broadcast from Hungary. He met Orban and reported Hungarians were freer than Americans.
*** PERIL, Robert Woodward and Bob Acosta
*** How Democracies Die, Steven Levitsy & Daniel Zitbat
Sources: The Economist, Financial Times, Washington Post
Next week: NON FUNGIBLE TOKENs: cool TOOL or rad FAD
Note: I thought about what to add, but there really is not much. We live in the weirdest of times.
