Former President Trump joked about fleeing to Russia after his bond was set at $200,000 in the Georgia case over his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Not exactly the same playbook. Hitler was much younger when he tried his coup. And I don’t think Trump is writing any manifestos, unless he gets put in the same cell with his ghost writer.
If Trump goes to prison, he’s old enough that he will likely die there, even with a shortish sentence. And there’s a chance that a smarter buffoon takes over the party, but did you see the clown show last night? I doubt any of those has what it takes.
Trump is not the next Hitler, no matter how badly he wants to be. My fear is that the next Hitler is just around the corner, and uses the Trump playbook to come to power.
I’d say i agree he wont be writing any manifestos. He does that in the form of his own public rallies, mass media, television, the internet, and through his sycophants on right-wing radio…His cult of personality is unfortunately very effective with his base.
I’m really hoping his cult of personality dies with him. (Or tries to glom on to Junior, who lacks, well, everything required to make him an effective populist leader).
Of all the people in the Trump orbit, I am most afraid of Jared. He seems to have been smart enough to avoid getting stuck in any of his father-in-law’s messes. And he is way, way too close to dictators abroad. I don’t think he wants to actually insert himself into politics. But he could end up being the one that finances the next attempt a dictatorship in the US.
