101 Years Ago, Germany Sought A Dictator: I Hope We Are Not. Germany had suffered the trauma of defeat in World War I. Significantly, there were plots to bring down German democracy. Donald Trump thinks he’s a “strongman.” He certainly utters some of the words used by dictators and strongmen. But Trump is not A strongman. He desperately wants to be. He is weak and old. Trump may be a weak strongman, but he is a dangerous wanna-be dictator. If he were elected, he would surely undermine and attempt to dismantle democratic guard rails.

The provocative rhetoric of figures like Donald Trump and J.D. Vance has significantly shaped the political landscape in recent months. Donald Trump, as we all recall, instigated a violent attack on the nation’s Capitol on January 6, 2021, resulting in his second impeachment and two indictments charged by the U.S. Justice Department and the District Attorney of Fulton County, Ga.
Trump’s speeches and social media posts often contain inflammatory language that can incite strong reactions among their supporters. This rhetoric has contributed to a climate where political violence is increasingly seen as a viable means of expressing discontent. Understanding the impact of his words and media posts is crucial in analyzing the broader implications for political stability and public safety.
