[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3607885, member: 56035"] Trump gives these astonishingly Mussolini-ish press conferences,” he said. “He says to the press, ‘Shut up. Stop!’ The press screams at him like a mob, a bunch of cattle. How can they be taken seriously? It is like the end of the Roman Republic. Important political leaders from the Senate, along with their rivals, would move around Rome with 50 people to protect them. [B]Scenes, exactly like Trump’s interactions with the press, defined the end of the Roman Republic. Nobody knew what was going on. There was no dignity. You can’t have a democracy without a level of respect and dignity. You only have chaos. This chaos eventually leads to a call for autocratic order. [/B]Trump benefits from the confusion, even though he resembles a cartoonish figure out of a funny novel, a character from [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Balcony']Jean Genet’s ‘The Balcony,’[/URL] although without the self-awareness.” - chris hedges [/QUOTE]
