He's done it.
He's proved to the world how much he "owns" the united States of America.
Any despot can have a piece of property, a part of the population, as much control of commerce, banking, electric, oil wind, water powers, forests and farms. ALL OF IT… as long as Mr. T gets what he says so.
All he has to do is pit us against each other. He and MAGA (Tea Party portion of the Republican Party +) have made a cult of a large portion of the citizenship and with that vanguard he can easily drive large portions and perhaps more than enough voters to create chaos and destruction anywhere in the country with a few words whispered again and again in papers and on cable and on radio and TV.
"They eat your dogs!" "They eat your cats!" (What about my chickens, my cows, my lambs and turkeys). “Believe me I heard it on TV. How terrible!” - of course, you clods, so have you!)”
He has done it before in the nation's capitol, Washington, DC. He just did it again in Springfield, OH. And he needn't do it many more times before entire groups of Americans will beat each other into submission… to him! and his 2024 cohorts who will promise to restore ORDER to your/his country.
They want us to beg for their form of order to, essentially, save us from.
Hitler could only WISH he had been so strong!
