We just saw a clear example of
our President trying desperately to protect his strength by threatening to
close down the government if he doesn’t get his way. We saw him demonizing his
enemies in the Oval Office by insulting our highest Democratic leaders
and we are witnessing him dismantling our institutions that are there to
protect our environment and safety. Donald Trump is a classic authoritarian.
He loves the other authoritarian
leaders popping up across the globe who also like to appear to be strong
leaders by having lavish military parades that he wanted tax payers to pay for
in America. He is happy to deaminize immigrants blanketing calling them all
criminals. He has twitter feuds with just about anyone who dares to analyze his
erratic behavior. Trump praises evil Dictators like Duarte who kills folks on
the streets who might be doing drugs with no judge or jury. Trump
tweeted a slogan that Mussolini used that said, “It is better to live one day
as a lion than 100 years as a sheep” Very much like Hitler’s mantra.
I guess he thinks Mussolini is
just an Italian sheep. Trump won and is still running as an unapologetic strong
man and his supporters love it. They all have photos on their social media
pages posing with weapons, their monster trucks in the background and
disrespectfully draping their walls and clothing in the American flag that only
belongs to be flowing high and proud on a flag pole or draped over the coffin
of a dead soldier. Luckily he has NOT succeeded in ruining everything that
America stands for yet.
He has NOT managed to shut down
the Mueller Investigation that is trying to protect America’s voting that will
not be corrupted by foreign powers. He has NOT been able to end birthright
citizenship yet. He has NOT been able to ban the free American press from the
White House although he has tried to do so. He has tried to alter the American
Way by hiring our Justice Department leader based on loyalty to him. He has
appointed two justices to the Supreme Court based on loyalty to him. He has
fired judges, FBI and CIA officials based on loyalty to him. Yes, our democracy
and democracies globally are in danger of extinction by authoritarian men
ruling successfully globally oppressing and controlling innocent people robbing
them of their rights.
The scales of justice shows a
blindfolded lady holding up a scale. The image means that she is blindfolded to
discrimination and will put on the scale all the pieces of evidence to have a
just and fair outcome. There is NO justice with an authoritarian leader. It is
just their way and some of them represent the largest countries on the planet. Right NOW Russia, China, the Philippines, Venezuela,
Brazil, North Korea, Turkey, Hungary and Italy have authoritarian leaders. Our
Constitution is the only thing holding Trump back. We must never
have a leader who threatens his own people with jail, torture, putting political
opponents into exile, destroying the free press and encouraging a civil war
over a border wall.
