There is a huge difference between saying Drumpf is a despicable guy and the people around him are despicable and saying him and they are going to turn your Muslim buddy into a lampshade. There are so many things that would have to happen for that to occur. That's my overarching point.

And Stalinism with its attendant and often pointless cruelty was an aberration, even for a totalitarian nation like the former Soviet Union.
