I'm reading a book now, "Under the Light of the Italian Moon". I quoted a passage to my husband last night: (paraphrased a bit) "An arrogant man, who wrapped his desire for power in the guise of love of his country, under the rallying cry of moving his country back to greatness. Excellent at using bravado to convince masses of fools and bigots." I asked my husband who he thought this described. He said "Donald Trump". Then I told him it was actually Mussolini. We need to get people to realize that this is what TFG and his minions really represent. I so wish my Italian grandparents were alive today to help me spread this message.
Had the same scenario play out in our home when I read a remarkably similar passage in Joseph Kanon's Alibi or the Girl from Venic by Cruz I think. Spot on.
All tyrants wrap their desire for absolute power in the love of country. All of them begin with positive gestures, like making the trains run on time. They all use manipulation, the way a child molester entices a child. They are evil. Trump wanted to do good things for his country, but his ego corrupted him. He is now irrelevant. I hear forgiveness frees you.

We need TFG to clearly BE the FORMER guy.
