His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.
I read this entire article, and it made me sad. Because the guy's probably going to win. The people who need to read this article simply won't, and they will continue to believe what he tells them.
Goddamn. And he's potentially president a second time.
Trump has already caused significant damage. If he wins, we can expect things to get really bad.
But even if he loses, look at what he's done. He truly believes personal gain is the only thing someone should ever value. There is no justice for someone like that, other than taking it all away. Forcing him to realize that humanity has only survived because we can work together for collective gain.
There was no evidence of election irregeluarities in 2020, and Trump's "deny everything, and always claim victory" has included admissions by him that there was no evidence, but the philosophy was more important. Generals supporting sending an army to assist insurection, or other unconstitutional acts such as rounding up all Haitians in a city, because a neighbour reported their cat missing, with suspicion of one neighbour (cat came back next day).
This is as serious of a concern as his promise to provide absolute immunity to all police abuse. Israel's token concession to ICJ to prosecute rape torture of prisoners, would turn out the same in USA, if Trump supremacists destroy everything with immunity, and those not happy about Trump fascism get fascisted.
Personally none of the things this article says surprise me. But unfortunately, the author doesn't seem to provide any sources for Trumps statements, only the denials of those statements. Idk if people are just scared and want to remain anonymous or what but it loses integrity when people refuse to identify themselves or rather when A reporters article doesn't have sources like this.
He's going to fire all the generals we have that are better than Hitler's because they've learned from 50 extra years of warfare. He'll be left with generals that are worse than Hitler's.
