The new omnipotent Trump/MAGA era in America will likely be similar, in practical effect, to SOVIET Russia under Leonid Brezhnev or China under Chairman Mao!
Brezhnev in his middle age A LARGE FRAMED , BIG EYEBROWS MANLY MAN ruled the USSR and Soviet europe with a heavy ham fist!
Illegal outdoor art displays were shutdown with water cannons & bulldozers. Steely faced KGB guards ruled it's border crossings. The 'economy' was traditional communist only.
The central planners decided how many shoes, coats, cars and apples were to be sold & where.
Rumors of food at grocery stores caused lines of hopeful consumers to snake around the block.
Protesters were rounded up, beaten, shot & jailed in vast prison farms.
Germans caught crossing from East Berlin to the free West were shot at the Wall & left to die like roadkill.
Passenger planes crossing Russian territory without permission were shot down as enemies.
Soviet media reported only what it was told to by Brezhnev & The Party. Two "newspapers" TRUTH & NEWS had mostly lies.
When the USSR wanted more land it simply sent lines of puke green heavy tanks across its neighbor's borders to "liberate" them from American capitalism.
To America Brezhnev offered State silence OR nuclear war.
China under Mao TSE Tung was similar to the USSR but more radical and less economically advanced. Ideology (communist)was king, educated professionals were publicly criticized, fired or arrested and replaced with "politically correct" Party loyals.
Schools and universities were closed and students criticized for being from rich families sent to work on farm communes.
The Chinese army spent most of its time studying Chairman Mao ideology & socialism.
Millions of people were rounded up & sent to prisons, starved to death or executed.
Ultimately China became so economically poor and militarily weak that when it had arguments with the USSR it feared nuclear attack or invasions by Russia.
That's when it had to chose sides between Russia and Nixon's ideologically incorrect USA !
Will America suffer a similar fate after 1- 4 years of ideology (& gerontology) unchecked rule under TRUMP/MAGA?
Will we bankrupt ourselves into choosing to be a vassal state of The POWERFUL, RICHER PRC ? ?
Will the American public finally tire of the Trumpism it embraced mindlessly way back then?
