but how do you stop Trumpism without imposing something even worse than Trumpism?

And all were preceded by a 'ruling class' that ignored the problems of a large section of the population. That's the "Deplorables" as Hillary Clinton called them.

The thing is, is that they are cartoonish, just like their “cult leader.” But being cartoonish is not an impediment to their winning. They won in 2016, and nearly won again in 2020, even after all of the egregious, autocratic, christofascist, crap Trump pulled. #Autocracy

@ruthbenghiat Please come out with more of these types of points of actions that need to be taken when you post. One point about law enforcement & military: Is it not true that a growing number are sympathetic to or outright neofascists themselves?

Just like #BorisTheClown🤡(#Pennywise🎈) ! 😱 #MiriamMargoyles #Quote

Anyone who comments NEEDS to be more crisp, forceful, straightforward in their response.

Cartoonish ...

"There are things we need to be doing now. We need to be shoring up the law enforcement and the military to get rid of extremists, because if things do start heading toward civil conflict, the military, the national guard, and police - what they do is very fateful."

All of these dictators had enablers, most of whom were highly educated, with multiple degrees, mostly from wealthy backgrounds and considered a better class of people. Trump is a rich buffoon, however, underestimate him and his base at your own peril.
