CHAIRMAN MAO INSPIRED TRUMP

 The fact that President Trump waited hours to call off the rioters at the Capital on January 6th and reveled in the roar of the violent festival nearby is not the first such behavior of a world leader. 

 In 1966 China's communist founder and party leader Mao Tse tung  launched what he called the Cultural Revolution who's stated goal was to deepen the progress of radical change. 

 It's unstated goal however was to keep him in power at the top of the Chinese Communist party and fend off challengers. 

The foot soldiers in the revolution were called RED GUARDS mostly young men who attacked government offices and persecuted government officials at will, destroyed antiques, burned books , demolished temples and churches, held exhibition trials and caused chaos everywhere.   Meanwhile China's top leader praised the Red guards and never tried to tame their vigor or stop the chaos they were causing.  Chairman Mao's domestic revolution continued for Ten years until his death in 1976. 

If Donald Trump got (or gets) the power over the government that Chairman Mao had he would likely order similar radical changes everywhere, dismantle the federal government, arrest his critics and opponents, violate states rights , ban independent media etc, etc. 

 His shock troops from the radical Right the magas (Red cap guards) and violent private militias would be deputized by him to enforce the Trump revolution in every state and locality !

And just like China in the cultural revolution The United States of America would become weaker and weaker,  paranoid, internally dysfunctional and more violent. 

 Meanwhile America's opponents abroad would gain power and conspire to invade and divide up our failing empire as colonies of their own to provide their agricultural and industrial (no more EPA!) needs at our expense using our slave labor while importing masses of foreign workers to compensate for our low birth rates.

M.A.G.A. REALLY?
