    Let's see, you have a populist movement led by a loudmouthed leader who does nothing better than he gives speeches.

    The biggest focus of his ire and therefore his cultists' ire are "the others." These people don't look like him or his cultists. Please ignore the fact that the cult leader and his 2nd in command are married to women from the others group, however.

    He has convinced the cultists that their country will become a paradise once the others are gone. The plan is to round them up into concentration camps prior to their elimination. He says the process will likely be a bloody one.

    The latest gambit to make you think of the others as inhuman is a false story about them eating your household pets. It's not true but it will make it more palatable to rough them up while rounding them up. The last time these types of camps were employed, the others were falsely said to have devil horns to make them palatable for elimination.

    And where did this plan come from you might ask? Well, the cult leader reveres the person who ran this playbook last time. Copies of past speeches have been spotted on his night table.

    Thought this was a Napier thread!

    It is familiar because it works, but only for a limited duration. One cannot govern forever based on hate.

    Well, you can't govern democratically like that. Fortunately for him, the cult leader said there would be no more need for any other elections if he wins this one.

    Even more disturbing is the sheer number of Americans who support it.

    Crazier still. BIG GOV Donnie has beaten the illegal immigration drum for 8 years & yet still has no plan to deal with it. He didn't even try in his first 4 years & all he has lined up now are expensive, easily reversable stunts. Connie Donnie knew if he fixed it, he'd lose a major part of his fear porn. Connie Donnie knows the 1st rule of connin' - you can shear a sheep many times, but only skin it once.

    People learned in Germany that 1/3rd of the population will watch the horrors of what another 1/3rd does to the final 1/3rd and say nothing.
