11. She should have charged him with being a fascist. This the bottom line of the entire scenario.

Madeline Albright has published a book about the rise of fascism in the United States. At least some people are aware of what many of us have been saying since the union busting duo, Reagan and Thatcher, came into power. Reagan paved the way with the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine and multiple ownership of broadcast radio stations. The hatred of the conservatives is frightening. I went to a couple boards and Facebook recently in which poster after poster called for the outright slaughter of Democrats. Maybe progressives had better start thinking about their own safety. If it came to what some of the people are calling for it could result in an outright rebellion that could result in martial law leading to the suspension of elections. This is the goal of the extreme right wing. The passage of laws that could deliver what the Republicans have been seeking, an Authoritarian Presidency as in Russia and China, that Trump admires and dreams of achieving.
