The world is watching what happens when a grievance-filled dictator has been empowered to pursue his deadly delusions. Can it wake up the GOP from its infatuation with violent strongmen?
All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to. Consequently the greater the mass it is intended to reach, the lower its purely intellectual level will have to be . . . The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
Sound familiar?Trump: Build the wall !! The election was rigged !!
Written in Mein Kampf by Hitler. Were he alive, trump would be his doppelganger. His followers might want to read up on the Third Reich, see how it ended.
As for Putin. Countries are man made boundary lines drawn on maps. When you think about it, we are all one people separated only by water. So it must just be a stretch of land he wants, not the allegiance of people, for he is murdering them, making them hate him, fight against him.
Both men are psychopaths. with sociopath tendencies towards violence. Putin is smarter having attended a high school that only took those with perfect grades, then graduated from University with a law degree. Trump? A prof at Wharton said he was the worst student he ever had.
Steven Beschloss is so insightful and has such a great writing style and speaking style. And he tells it as it is. Truth. I am looking forward to the interview with Jamie Raskin on March 18
I really wish the world was easy as you seem to make it be. Your reduction of almost every situation or circumstance, past, present and future, to a binary cause/effect defies logic and reality. At some point, the Bad Orange will cease to exist, except in the minds of those searching for a way not believe the consequences of their actions, i.e.. vote. Here is how I see it: if you voted for Joe Biden, this is on you. Not a Trump voter. Is that binary enough?
I found this paragraph in a book I am reading.
