More on the basis of the Trump strategy

http://www.alternet.org/authors/marlene-winnell

This article by Winnell confirms what I've been seeing from Trump. His strategy is to make winning everything the same way that the 20th century fascists leaders did. He realizes that the American people, who have been cheated out of their democracy and well being by the alliance of big business' alliance, the right wing and religious right, want a winner over anything else and is intent on giving them one. The fascists wanted winning over anything for the same reasons. They cared little for justice, compassion, fact, truth, science, history or any other value of the Enlightenment. Winning was all that counted during the depression. And Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Salazar et al supplied them with their heroes. Trump shows how he is prepared to do the same meaning anything that will win even if this means becoming allied with the religious right, despising science, fact, history, ethics, democracy or any other Enlightenment value. And should anyone let alone a female threaten to beat him why he is fully prepared to have her jailed, assassinated, groped or whatever else will degrade and destroy her and her supporters. Well we showed how democracy can chew up and spit out fascist dictator types like this in the past and should be ready and willing to once again.
