No, Trump is not unique in that regard.

(954 posts)Below is a link regarding slavery on George Washington's Mount Vernon Plantation. Because we are in the age of absurdity, I guess I have to say it: Slavery was racist. Slavery was bad. Slavery was evil.

(27,985 posts)But, if you look at the world, we are heading into another authoritarian time, the likes of which haven't been seen since Hitler, Mussolini,Stalin and the mess that is always the ME. So, Trump is part of Brexit, authoritarians throughout the world, even Merkel, who should know better, is trying to mess with Muslims.
Frankly, this is a highly dangerous time in which, we, the proles, have little say. But what little say I have, I'm going to say it loud.
More than anything, we must record. Whether our Empire dies now (I think it is) or if we dodge this nuclear bullet, we still must document what is happening.
