His threatened "bloodbath" may be his own suicide which he is predicting will cause ANOTHER INSURRECTION more widespread in America?
Because if he IS NOT reelected he won't be able to escape his criminal trials and total loss of face every where.
IF he doesn't commit suicide then he must also be charged with conspiracy under RICO!
Robert Pape's description of America's growing appetite for political violence being fed by Donald Trump on the political Right as well as radical leftists does seem to remind me of China's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution which was invented by a then politically weakened Mao Tse Tung.
Mao like Trump used the emotions of his angry civilian followers to stir up a tsunami of violence against every traditional institution and individual in his country.
Eventually the internal strike had so weakened China that some of the remaining political establishment and loyal armed forces were able to retake the helm of leadership (but only AFTER Mao's death) and then begin jailing the leaders of Mao's massive "coup".
The national 'clean up' took most of the next decade. Then in the summer of 1989 student led protests for democracy against the CCP establishment expanded to include public grievances about all sorts of issues with rioting and street blockades throughout the capital city of Beijing.
The CCP unaccustomed to mass riot control and with fresh memories of suffering in Mao's civil war, deployed provincial combat troops to the city center killing hundreds of civilians.
The morning after the jailing and mass arrests throughout China began of all participants or supporters and next the reeducation sweep!
This was all probably necessary to prevent a spreading civil war and anarchy situation.
So is the United States about to enter a "cultural revolution" of it's own led and fanned by Trump who, like Mao, is an aging populist politician with nothing to lose . Will loyal branches of the military be needed to deploy to prevent anarchy and civil war?
Will it be while Trump is still alive or only after he dies of old age?
Will democracy be suspended under martial law and insurrectionists be arrested as well as the youth and public subject to reeducation?
Will advertising be censored, gun sales banned and lobbying in Congress banned or strictly regulated(public anger high here).
Will violent entertainment on TV, internet, movies be banned, censored or curtailed? Possibly an entire generation will need to be re-educated in democracy, civil discourse, and non-violence ?
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?
