Nearly a century ago author Aldous Huxley foresaw a world of populations willing to live under dictatorships that utilized propaganda and mind altering drugs to keep people "happy." Sound familiar?
Like every dictator throughout history, Trump demands unquestioning loyalty to him first and and in our case, the Constitution last.
America elected its first dictator and gave him a rubber-stamp Congress—one that already enabled a Supreme Court to render him immune for any crimes he is prepared to commit.

Trump and his fascist squad want to export his version of DEI to the world and are giving new meaning, volume and magnitude to the concept of the "Ugly American."
