https://lnkd.in/gsqRkY4z What should also be attached to this article is a reminder that Trump had his personal lawyer argue in front of the US supreme court that his client (Trump) should be allowed to even have the option of being able to kill a political rival if he were POTUS. This is a call for tyranny of the scale of Joseph Stalin and others in the 20th century. While 1/3rd of the US voting population appears to view this as election background noise and mere bad mouthing, one cannot dismiss this, and to go to the intellectually dishonest "both sides are rotten, equally" bromide served up by even CNN due to wanting to chase click baits and to energize readership. This is genuinely different, and it behooves Americans to stop treating this election as a sloganeering paradise and to treat the issues seriously. Also, is that one side of the political ledger at least for a YEAR was on the side of destroying Ukraine for reasons which go back to the "perfect call" horror show between Trump and Zelinsky. While facing the issues seriously may hurt some feelings, one should be reminded that turning the USA into another North Korea in all but name is a far worse outcome than telling the truth as to what is at stake quote Experts say that modern authoritarians employ seven basic tactics in the pursuit of power: Politicizing Independent Institutions—Mr. Trump has said that he will dismantle the FBI and DOJ to suit his will if he is elected; Spreading disinformation— “I won!”; Aggrandizing political power—Mr. Trump claims “total unlimited immunity could order the military to kill political opponents”; Squashing dissent—He will jail or execute those who disagree with him; Marginalizing vulnerable communities—LGBTQ+, Blacks Democrats, abolition seekers, liberal Jews; Corrupting elections— Undermining the elections system by claiming election fraud when none existed; and Stoking violence—The January 6 insurrection. end of quote https://lnkd.in/gZmFQcNZ

This is a 5 part Post 1 of 5 Americans are VERY NAÏVE about Fascism, Communism, Propaganda, Dictators. This post is for Americans no matter if Left/Right, Up/Down, Conservative/Liberal. Pro-Trump/Anti-Trump, Independent ALL AMERICANS.I am writing this on April 25 as in Italy it is Liberation Day. Italians celebrate Italy’s liberation from Nazi-fascism and remember the partisans and the Italian Resistance. The symbol of this day is the song Bella Ciao. I am a dual citizen USA and Czech. I now live in Italy. I am Pro-Democracy. I am 72 and have a lifetime of experience in what fascism is thru my family and the destruction of democracy happening by Putin Trump Maga. Trump and Trump MAGA throw these terms Fascism, Communism, around with no credibility. Credibility as a Financial Planner DOES NOT Mean any credibility on the above. I will explain in detail why I do know about the above. When Trump MAGA arrive at this post in their clown care and the 3 stooges jump out start doing their Trump Tap Dancing and Parroting and trying to get me with their 7-year-old Trumpian bullying tactics they just look ridiculous, I am not wasting time on them. They are too ridiculous.
America has gone down this slope since 2016, why did America needed to see a change that was far way worst as a choice in democracy, financial standing, world reputation. ?
TOTAL BS! You should be ashamed of yourself.
