No, (sadly) I do not think you are wrong Brother, except for the calling me "brilliant" part. ;) Far more awake and informed than my feeble self used to be perhaps. Good at compiling/writing about things discovered long ago by brilliant people perhaps...but that's about it.

You have done a superb job at further-detailing current, real-life examples of how this core strategy/tactic is being used against us still today, to great effect. Well done.

I pray that more people begin to feel the manipulations and deceptions through all of the staged events, rhetoric, narratives and lies. From there, that they choose to wake up and see. I also pray that we're there to help and in some way can make a difference for the future of our country and children.

Every single one of us that chooses to awaken to the truths about this stack -- and decides to turn off the PROGRAMMING, care, spread truth and take the difficult path of NON-COMPLIANCE makes a difference.

Sinclair Lewis's 1935 dystopian novel, "It Can't Happen Here," illustrates the close parallels between the novel's protagonist Senator Berzelius "Buzz Windrip and Trump. Both figures exploited societal fears and used populist rhetoric to gain power.

Windrip promised to "restore the country to prosperity and greatness, and promising each citizen $5,000 per year (equivalent to $113,000 in 2024). (Trump promises $2000 tariff checks by mid-2026). Windrip potrayed himself as a champion of "the forgotten man" and "traditional" American values.

Trump promised "America First," prioritizing American national interests, especially economic and security interests. President Trump courted America's workers, promising them a renaissance if they helped send him back to the White House.

Instead, the American workers under his administration have experienced a roll back of worker protections, weakening unions ,AI taking their jobs, and policies that benefit corporations more than workers, ultimately harming the average worker. Wage growth has not been significant enough to offset inflation or to create a widespread boom for the working class.

Windrip's rise to power, political style, tactics, rhetoric, fascist policies closely resembles Trump's authoritarian tendencies, challenges to democratic norms, and his often inflammatory, divisive, and polarizing rhetoric.

A 90-year-old America dystopian novel is playing out right before our eyes. It can happen here!
