45 was the logical extension of their decades long manipulation of fundigelical Christians, authoritarians and racists to further tax cuts for the rich and unregulated capitalism, but now it's like Louis XVI is whispering in their ears..."remember me and Marie...it could happen to you". And don't let them fool you. It's not the left they're as concerned about. It's the radical, populist right.
The problem with 45 is he doesn't need the western monied class to hold on to political power such as Reagan, the Bush's and most mainline Rethuglican legislators. The rubes have gone far beyond their daily dose of Fox News propaganda. They now truly believe 45 is sent by god, right out of biblical prophecy. He's the white answer to a browning of America. And he has another funding source....foreign powers who have no love for the western monied class. Their agenda is the dismantling of western hegemony, and 45 could are less as long as they stroke his ego. It's a match made in hell.
The western monied class created the environment for Shitler and his cult to take root. Now it's growing like kudzu and it scares the crap out of them.
