101 Years Ago, Germany Sought A Dictator: I Hope We are Not.

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. He’s a convicted felon and shouldn’t be president

Trumpism on Display at the Capitol

Trumpism on Display at the Capitol

What have we become as a nation when this ex-president, who is the epitome of a con man, can overtake an entire political party? Most of the Republicans who met with Trump were also there in 2021. What moral sense do they have to go along with a fraudster, liar, thief, and criminal conspirator who probably should be in jail?
