Dictators often end badly.

Mussolini was hung upside down, his body kicked and dragged along the street. Hitler shot himself and Eva Braun. While his ministers debated whether he had faked his death, Stalin was writhing in pain after suffering a heart attack and stroke. (Putin was undoubtedly a food taster.) Saddam Hussein was hanged with his body twisted on a rope, while Colonel Gaddafi had a piece of military equipment forced into his anus, while the victims’ families watched. It’s not beautiful.

There is a second group of tough guys, and these are all men who give whatever signals they want to dictate. Donald Trump is one of them So is Hungary’s Viktor Orban. They seek and provoke trouble like little pocket dictators. They are slowly tearing apart the fabric of society in the name of rampant Christian nationalism. They frantically announce the rules, accepting the result only if they win – “Monty Python” would be happy with this draft. They try to reinvent the Constitution, and sometimes the Supreme Court goes along with them. But ultimately they fail because the will of the people reasserts itself.

Yes a few americans Those who want Trump’s dark midnight division and will soon realize it disaster This will happen if management tries, because it’s hopefulDeporting millions.

Trumpism without Trump is like launching a missile without a weapon. He is irreplaceable but will soon be replaced either by electoral defeat or by age (he is 78).

Who will step up? Can you imagine Mitch McConnell? driving a garbage truck or holy cylinder Speaker Mike Johnson cursing and swearing at the masses? They would have to reinvent the enemies: Jews, immigrants, the homeless, and the desperate.

But the enemy is already inside if they want to find it. His name is Donald Trump and he has done untold damage to the concept of America.

But in the midst of the surrounding darkness there is a clear and sure path. Vote for sanity, vote for common sense, vote for Kamala Harris.
