Why Are Dictators Always Evil?

@Pfuzylogic It's been well-established what a total Ugly American this fuck was, is and always will be. BUT, what about the tens of millions of his slavish followers who'll still be around when the Orange Jesus has been dispatched? What's to be done with them?

@Pfuzylogic Under the rule of law, there are always limitations of power. Which is why there are no laws at all in Orwell's INGSOC country.

@SW-User
They were the racist tea party before.
they will just wander around acting stupid!

@helenS Honest to God - Trump is only the template of what's to come. Repugs learn quickly. There will not be a repeat of the Watergate folding.

@helenS 1984…my heart beats quicker. That was my favorite Novel for the longest time in which i was led to read by Bowie’s Diamond Dogs!
You know life is messed up when you MUST love Big Brother before he takes your life! 😜

@SW-User Thank goodness that deep down even though trump has a list for power; he is to dumb to carry out his agenda!

@Pfuzylogic Please keep in mind that there is a harsh competition between wanna-be tyrants; and there is a survival-of-the-fittest approach. There are thousands of promising candidates.
His successor will be smarter, and much more unscrupulous 😐

@helenS Cue the sound of ominous, foreboding music. Some Bernard Herrmann, perhaps.

@helenS I definitely agree with your thinking there. Lenin accomplished a much larger slaughter then wannabes trump and putin. i remember when DOS was called QDOS or Quick and dirty operating system. I would attribute to Trump the quick and dirty in Insurrection. it didn’t work but it sure laid out a template for someone.

@SW-User Some segments of Richard Wagner's "Ring" might be fitting as well.

@helenS How Hitlerian!

@SW-User Wagner was hijacked by the Nazis.

@helenS Google Winifred Wagner.

@SW-User Oh I thought the composer's first name was Richard?

@helenS Please... google Winifred.

@SW-User I know who that is.

@helenS Yes. Wagner's daughter-in-law. She and Hitler were buds. It all ties in. He was that close to his musical idol.

@SW-User Personally I do not believe that Hitler admired Wagner's music, because that music is much too complex and modern to be understood by an uneducated tramp. H. was a big fan of Franz Lehár's operetta "The Merry Widdow", which he enjoyed dozens of times, and that speaks volumes.
Hitler was an opportunistic careerist, he knew that the German right-wing extremists abused Wagner for their purposes, so he decided to become an admirer too.
Wagner was one of the designers of modernity in music, and his personal deficiencies are as unimportant as, for example, Isaac Newton's flaws (of which there are many).
(Listening to the overture of Wagner's Tristan right now. The root of all atonality in modern music.)
🌷 <== to be placed on Richard Wagner's grave.
