I received a letter from a person who occasionally writes to me about the time we are living in from her perspective of living later in the 21st Century. I’ve posted the letter as a warning from someone who is able to look into the past and send warnings about the future.
Eight years after he was elected, we are in front of a more dangerous Donald Trump. He has a cult of millions of Americans and the ultra-dangerous document called Project 25. This post will identify some elements of Trump’s perilous blueprint for governing.
We are witnessing a repeat of what happened in Europe in the 1920s and 30s which saw the emergence of three nationalist tyrants in Italy, Germany and the Soviet Union. Trump is using their playbooks and has emerged as a 21st century tyrant. This post compares Trump to tyrants and political prisoners (which he claims to be). It will be clear which list he belongs.
Former President Donald Trump has been convicted in a Manhattan court of multiple felony charges related to his role in the “hush money” payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The high-profile trial, which captivated the nation, has resulted in a guilty verdict that will forever tarnish Trump’s legacy and have significant implications for his political future.
In the New York “Hush Money” case, Trump was found criminally guilty of 34 felonies. A jury of his peers, made of 7 men and five women from New York City, convicted Trump. He is now a felon and will be bound by the laws of New York. Trump will not be able to vote because Florida does not allow felons to vote. He will also have to report to a parol officer in New York. and be bound by the rules against felons.
This post consists of a short video (11 minutes) in which I talk about some of the books that have influenced my writing and thinking about the dangerousness of Donald Trump and his Trumpist allies.
