There is ample proof that under Trump’s 18-month regime, we have entered into a global struggle between adherence to democratic precepts and the rise of authoritarianism (coupled with hefty doses of autocracy and plutocracy.)
The blind loyalty offered Trump by his cabinet (taking timeout to pledge an “oath” to the orange buffoon)…and the lack of ANY oversight by the spineless republicans in congress, has led to a world-wide phenomenon in the rise of almost despotic rule in countries that once rejected any semblance of anti-democratic practices; we have seen the rise of right-wing sympathies in such countries as Austria, Poland, Hungary, Rumania….and even in such unlikely places as Italy and Spain.
Trump’s admiration for totalitarian rule is undisputed……His praises of undemocratic practices of the leadership in China, Russia, the Philippines, etc. are downright scary.
Luckily, in the U.S. we still have some rule of law in our politics, but the practice of bullying and stifling opposition is occurring in other countries.
Trump has shown his ANTI-democratic penchants, when he attacks the courts, attacks the media, attacks political opponents, and attacks anyone even within his own party who dares to object to his policies, offer a clear sign that this guy would love to be ruling with an iron-fist as occurred in fascist countries of the 1930s.
The hatred shown by Trump supporters toward minorities, court rulings, media reports, etc. has fueled Trump’s megalomania and has given him the feeling that he IS a cult leader who cannot do wrong and will be supported by a “loyal” base even as he leads them over a social and economic abyss.
Scary prospects that can only be curbed by sane Americans faithfully showing up at the polling booths this upcoming November.
