Drift Wrote:Stan, can you tell us what event or series of events led you to conclude that tyranny can now exist in this country?1. Trump's scapegoating of foreigners, and blaming other nations for this country's problems. That's the historical modus operandi of demagogues.
2. Trump's abuse of power in revoking a critic's security clearance, and threatening to do the same to other individuals, in a clear act of political vengeance.
3. Trump's persistent vilification of the news media as the enemy of the people, rightly characterized by Admiral McRaven as perhaps the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime.
