OPINION - The Fall of Democracy

By Anthony Adler

As I boy, I remember seeing newsreels of Mussolini giving speeches from his balcony. His facial features and bombastic attitude I see mirrored by Donald Trump. He reeks of fascist tendencies with a vast ignorance of compassion and understanding.

Mussolini was no golfer, but he did spend time working hard in the wheat fields with the Faschi (i.e. wheat sheaves). The farm laborers who stacked wheat were called Facistie. Pretending to be the friend of the workingman, he called his movement the Fascist party to honor workers in the fields.

Mussolini’s taking over this honorable name for his movement dishonored the word and the name as the atrocities of the Axis set fire to the world and the truth. Trump is following in the footsteps of his mentor with his attack on the FBI and in the common decency. Why has he not met the well-deserved fate of the molester of Alabama?

Trump is a self-described woman molester and yet he still struts his stuff after 13 woman have complained about him to no avail. His name-calling of Kim III is not helping him obtain any form of detent with North Korea. This moron should be impeached before he burns up the world with nuclear war.

As a student of history and literature Trumpolini reminds me of the sans culottes of the French Revolution, those who murdered the King and Queen and most of all of the intellectuals and gentry, in other words The Rabble.

Trumpolini has turned out to be Robin Hood in reverse. He robs the poor and gives loot to the rich. It took many years for the French to evolve their democracy. Now ours in on the wane.

We must impeach the Trump before he trumps us all and leaves us without our culottes, i.e.. that which cover all posterities. He must be removed.

Dump the Trump before he trumps humanity.
