I am not a liberal by any stretch. In fact I usually vote Republican as a registered right leaning independent. However, the parallels between Trumps Presidential Strategy and that of other totalitarian dictators is obvious:

1. Suppress, denmonize, and attempt to control the media - check.
2. Create ethnic scapegoats and turn the masses against them dividing the majority against the minorities - check
3. Legislate via executive orders by-passing the legislative process has in which the US Constitution and democracy is built - check
4. Break down the trust in institutions of government as he is doing with our DOJ, CIA, and intelligence agencies, or any group that disagrees with him - check
5. Attempt to become a single person political party - check

This is the game plan that dictators have be using for a thousand years, and it stuns me that so many are in agreement and complicit to Trumps Totalitarian Plan of Action. We are acting like a strongman Bannana Republic which is dangerous for America regardless of left, right, or middle politics.

Four out of five isn't bad. He still has time.

Very poor trolling attempt.

Take a lap.

Give me a break. Our three letter secret agencies have a very long and well documented history of doing awful things and screwing it up. Everyone would have agreed with that a mere two years ago.

This is a ridiculous OP

It is insulting to people who actually have lived and suffered under dictatorships

Pathetic

It’s insane that the OP truly believes this

He has zero clue what an actual dictator is

I don't want you to think this is a whatbsoutism, because I think your list is full of shite as it pertains to Trump, except for the demonize part of #1 and #4 by default because of how untrustworthy those institutions are. That said, this list describes Obama to the letter.

I don't subscribe to your level of dramatics either, so I won't say Obama was following a "dictatorial playbook" (lulz), but posts like this convince me more and more that TDS should be a focus on medical schools.
