And then there were Three

The call for the setup of a Democratic Dictator

Interesting isn’t? Trump is saying he want’s his followers to cheer the destruction of the 22nd Constitutional Amendment. He is starting the preparation for a Putin like reconstruction of the constitution to suit his continued rule. His fan cheer adoringly, not unlike those who cheered the speeches of wonderful things for Germany or Italy to come by the German or Italian leaders (and their party) in the 1930’s.

Trump makes references to Venezuela and Cuba to invoke visions of failed states to induce fear in his followers of something that would not and could not, in reality, happen. But Trump is a master of deception and innuendoes just like his 1930’s counterparts. Do not put it past the Republican sycophants when this happens to stand up for the destruction of the 22nd Constitutional Amendment. Just as Putin recently had the Russian constitution changed so that he can stay in as president for the next 32 years (life de facto), Trump will push for his followers to the brink for his individual advantage.

This, despite the fact that the Republicans were the emphasis behind the 22nd Amendment itself; but that was when the Republicans were quite different ideologically. Before the party began to embrace racial injustice against white skin color as a ‘good people’ cause. Before the party began to believe in IL-Liberal Capitalism as a method of sustained power. Reagan started a third term campaign that became irrelevant when he started having memory issue. There is little to stop Trump from reviving that effort to retain power.

In one aspect Trump’s prediction may be correct. The US may turn into Venezuela if the minority win party attempts to hold onto power for a third term with the dissolution of 22nd amendment by the Republican efforts. Trump will be the US’s Nicolás Maduro or if you prefer Benito Mussolini as the successor to George Washington.
