Jonathan Last: Nothing happens in public life without Trump putting his stamp on it. Cooperstown? Cracker Barrel? The Kennedy Center Honors? Trump has a will to dominate them.
He is the living embodiment of the leviathan, the totalized state.
No sector of American life exists beyond the reach of this president. There is no private sphere or civil society he feels should be outside his influence or control. There is only the dear leader, whose views must be considered in all matters.

(244 posts)Stalin was very knowledgeable about the arts (films, music, etc.) and defined socialist realism as the basic method of Soviet literature and art. Compared to Trump, Stalin was highly educated - but perhaps an even worse human being.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
