So my hypothesis is that trump is a tyrant trying to solidify his power and his most powerful weapon is his hate rhetoric. Molosovich had the same tactic and he will rachet up the hate speech until he has genocide on his hands.

I have likened our situation to Rwanda (in another column) which occurred during the same period of time. I could also make the same arguments about Jackson and the Reconstruction.

Mostly this is all about hate speech and outcomes.

So, what did you get besides confusion?
