It is to our credit as a nation that we were not whipped to the level of frenzy that gripped some of those other populates, but the methodologies: controlling the mass media message, capitulation by opposition forces, and massive gaslighting and obfuscation...even the dehumanization attempts Stull being utilized by Trump allies and supporters. It's a playbook and we nearly fell to it...
So nations that fall short of the worst sorts of crimes against humanity deserve credit? And Trump, in your estimation, is comparable to the leaders of those regimes?
Interesting metrics, Donovan, that shed some light on a playbook that's currently en vogue.
